POXNA, smoother jumping animations
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to make jumping functionality in my Movement test. My character jumps and comes back down, but it's very choppy and not smooth at all. What happens is he juts up to his max height, then comes down smoothly. </p> <p>I can spot the problem, the for loop doesn't want to play nicely with the code. However, I don't know how to circumvent this. Is there any way to keep the button press and have him jump up nicely?</p> <p>Code: </p> <pre><code>if (leftStick.Y > 0.2f && sprite.Position.Y == position.Y || isPressed(Keys.Up) == true && sprite.Position.Y == position.Y) { if (wasLeft == true) { sprite.CurrentAnimation = "JumpLeft"; } else if (wasLeft == false) { sprite.CurrentAnimation = "JumpRight"; } //This for loop is my issue, it works but it's jumpy and not smooth. for (movement.PlayerHeight = 0; movement.PlayerHeight < movement.PlayerMaxHeight; movement.PlayerJump()) { sprite.Position.Y -= movement.PlayerJump(); } } sprite.StartAnimation(); } else { leftStick = NoInput(leftStick); } private Vector2 NoInput(Vector2 leftstick) { if (sprite.Position.Y < position.Y) //(movement.PlayerSpeed > 0) { sprite.Position.Y += movement.PlayerHeight; movement.PlayerHeight -= movement.Player_Gravity; //sprite.Position.Y += movement.PlayerSpeed; //movement.PlayerSpeed -= movement.Player_Decel; } else { sprite.Position.Y = position.Y; } } </code></pre> <p>Movement class:</p> <pre><code>public float PlayerMaxHeight = 15f; public float PlayerHeight = 0; public float Player_Gravity = 0.01f; private const float Player_Jump = 0.35f; public float PlayerJump() { PlayerHeight += Player_Jump + Player_Gravity; if (PlayerHeight > PlayerMaxHeight) { PlayerHeight = PlayerMaxHeight; } return PlayerHeight; } </code></pre>
