how do you make a custom character

[Knitted_Egg]

hello I want to make a character that is similar to mario but is slower and can do a double jump but how do I make a custom character? I know there is custom character blocks but I just want to make a custom character.

if you just want mario but slower and with a double jump, you actually don't need a completely custom character.
the player's speed cap can be controlled by "Defines.player_runspeed" and "Defines.player_walkspeed" (though the latter cap won't apply to any manual speed boosts that the player receives)
as for double jump, i believe there's a library for it on the wohsoft forums but it might be outdated. in any case, it shouldn't be too hard to implement if you know how to use events and player memory offsets; also maybe taking a look at the source code would help with figuring the physics out. (at any rate it's much much easier to do than creating an entire new character)

for double jump create local variable and use "function onKeyDown(k)", "player.speedY", "SFX.play(1)" and "if k == KEY_JUMP or k == KEY_SPINJUMP then"

[Marioman2007]

for double jump create local variable and use "function onKeyDown(k)", "player.speedY", "SFX.play(1)" and "if k == KEY_JUMP or k == KEY_SPINJUMP then"

A better approach would be:

Code: Select all

function onInputUpdate()
    if player.keys.jump == KEYS_PRESSED or player.keys.altJump == KEYS_PRESSED then
        -- do stuff
    end
end
