hi everyone i just started making my first game its a 3rd person action/adventure type thing and just wanted to know if it is possible to make a jump command so if u press a key eg. spacebar the character would jump to a certain height but if u hold the spacebar then release it would jump heigher depending on how long u held it, kind of like the spiderman 2 jump system. i know its a big ask but could somebody get me started on the code as i dont know much about jumping and gravity and what not....

"Gimme teh codez" posts like this one are frowned upon on this forum. Coders are expected to put forth at least some effort to come up with a solution to whatever problem they are facing. Making video games is very enjoyable, but it takes effort and a willingness to learn.

That said, I did take the time to put together something basic for you this time.


The 'player' jumps in proportion to how long the spacebar is held down. Exit by pressing the ENTER key.

Good luck to you,

So many games to code......so little time.
