Flipping Gravity

I am trying to do gravity flipping when pressing space. I created a variable called FlipGracity and gave it value 0 or 1. 0 will make the player fall down and 1 fall up. I can only make the character fall up when pressing space. However when i copy the event again and change the variable, the character couldn't fall up or down.

It only works if i use different keys, like space for falling up and z for falling down.

Could someone please take a look on my capx file? thanks!

Hey nicklowkcmagic,

it did not work because it is first checked whether your variable is 0 to set it to 1 and after that it is checked whether your variable is 1 to set it to 0. So the variable is 1 for one tick. Try it with 'else':

+ Keyboard: On Space pressed

----+ Player: FlipGravity = 0
-----> Player: Set FlipGravity to 1

----+ System: Else
-----> Player: Set FlipGravity to 0

Here is how you can do this in one action:

Set FlipGravity to (FlipGravity=0)

nicklowkcmagic

set the instance variable to 1 or -1, depends of which direction you want at start. Then change your code to:

Player | FlipGravity=1 -> Player| SetPlatform gravity to 1500
Player | FlipGravity=-1 -> Player| SetPlatform gravity to -1500

Keyboard | On space pressed -> Player | Set FlipGravity Player.FlipGravity *-1
