Invert collision to reset jump strength

Hi,

I'm working on a bumper that increases jump strength. Now, I have a system in place to ensure the strength of the jump increases with every consecutive jump and then stays that way after a set number of jumps.

Following this, I want to reset the variable that is responsible for increasing the jump strength and resetting the jump strength itself.

It is for this purpose that I need to Invert the collision check, because I intend to use this bumper on a number of different surfaces, which means that the player will need to have the jump reset.

Is there any way to do this?

By invert the collision, do you mean check if the player isn't colliding?

Hey Fynnick.

Try inverting a "Object is overlapping Object" condition instead of using the normal colliding check.

I tried it, and it doesn't work, since it conflicts with the variable that increases the jump strength everytime it collides with the bumper.

I need it to reset the variables when the object is not in air and while it is not on another surface, not colliding with the bumper.

How's this?

Yep I have that as a hotfix backup, but I wanted to know if there was a way to do it for any number of different objects so that there is no need to check collision with every single one of them.

That said, thanks again :)

No worries mate, and yes you can do that with families.

Set all your bouncable objects into a family and then you can use that to test the collision instead of the sprite. Very handy but you need to have a licensed version if you dont already.

Oh yeah, that'll definitely do the job. N yeah using a licensed version :)
