coyotetime.lua - "Argh, the jump didn't jump!"

A staple in platformers for decades (notably used in the DKC series since the first entry, for example). Coyote time describes the idea of being able to jump a few frames after leaving the ground, in a nod to Wile E. Coyote from Road Runner.
This script is multiplayer compatible.
The script:
https://pastebin.com/2eb5i94B
You can customize:
coyotetime.frames: A number value corresponding to the frames of coyote time. Default is 5.
coyotetime.onJump: A function to override, with the parameters passed as a jumping player and whether they are spinjumping. If you have any silly jump modifications in your own code, this is where you can take care of them.
Short demonstration:

This is a pretty nifty addition although I personally refer to it as the "Drop Hop".

And I refer to it as "Jump Extension" as it was how it's called in Doom Eternal.

And I refer to it as the "midair jump" because that is what it is.
Or alternatively, the "fall canceller", or even "invisible ledge jump".

I mean... you can call it what you like, but "coyote time" is the industry standard term.

Didn't know that... though to be fair I suppose Enjl would not have plucked a random animal out of thin air

ah yes, this definitely fixes the notorious "I refuse to jump" issue.

Would it be possible to limit the abilty to one (legacy) Character like Toad?

Encase the scope of the player for loop in a character check.

Could you show me where I have to encase the Character Check?

Like I said, everything inside the player for loop. An if statement that starts just after the for loop begins, and ends just before it closes.

Code: Select all
function ct.onTick()
for k,p in ipairs(Player.get()) do
So after this section, right?

Ping
I was wondering since you made this script if you were planning on making a buffer jump script that basically fixes the other issue of why sometimes jumping of smbx doesn't feel like it'd come out.
Not at the moment. I have something like that in my episode, but it works in a way in which it's not suitable for abstracting into a script, unlike coyotetime and playerphysicspatch were. I'd need to rewrite it from scratch to make it work as a library, which is something I miiight do in the future, but that's not a promise and more my own uncertainty.

Hey, would this script also work with jumps a few frames after leaving water or is this just the ground? As you know, jumping out of a downward moving water layer is super buggy and annoying to do currently.
Only ground. Never had problems with what you described.
