How do I implement Jump Buffering in C3? (input buffering on jump)

I am crafting a platform game.

The idea is that if the player performs an action before it’s allowed, by some other condition (such as being on the ground to be able to jump), the action will still happen. To achieve that effect, we should start a timer when the button is pressed and if the condition is met between the moment in which the input was sent and the moment the condition is reached (touching the ground) is less that the timer defined by our tolerance, the action still happens (we jump).

How to effectively implement this on Construct 3 ? (Best practice)

You can do it pretty much as you described.

When conditions met for a buffer able input, start a timer.

On action finished and is timer running，do buffered action.

oosyrag I understand the logic but I struggle to implement this.

Is it possible you could give me an example with a .c3p file?

oosyrag cheers!! your example did the trick!!

I will probably try to do it with a global variable (instead of a timer) in order to control other conditions as well.

Thanks a lot for this help!

If your want a more robust system, you'll probably want to use an array to keep track of all inputs in order and base most your event conditions off of that array.

oosyrag It works perfect with the timer in your example! I have just set some conditions in order for it to trigger and now it synergizes perfectly with the double jump and some other stuff!

oosyrag How did you make it work with double jump?
