I'm currently using this code for jumping:

if not Jump:    
    if keys[pygame.K_UP]:
        Jump=True
        right=False   #right, left and standing are for character's facing
        left=False    # and they serve no purpose for jumping
        standing=False
        steps=0
else:
    if jumpCount >= -8.5:
        standing=False
        neg=1
        if JumpCount < 0:
            neg=-1
        y-=(JumpCount**2)/2 *neg
        jumpCount-=1
    else:
        Jump=False
        jumpCount=8.5  # I've set it to 8.5 bc that value works for me best

Anyway, this code works for basic jumping, but a problem occurs if I want to jump, let's say, on a box. I tried to set it up like this:

self.line1=[self.x,self.y+60] #this is the bottom left coordinate of the 
                                #character
self.line2=[self.x+28,self.y+60]  #this is the bottom right coordinate

def on(self,a):
    if (a.line1[0]+12)>self.x and (a.line1[0]+12)<(self.x+40):  # self.x+40 
                                     #is the top right coordinate of the box
        if a.line1[1]<=self.y and (a.line1[1]+a.v)>=self.y:
            return True
    return False

def collision(self,a):
    if self.on(a):
        a.y=self.y-60
        a.Jump=False
    return


def all(self,a):
    self.on(a)
    self.collision(a)
    return

But this doesn't work. I've managed to set up that when the character hits sides of the box it can't go further, but I couldn't do the jumping part. Is it possible to jump on something with this code, or should I change the jumping code completely, use gravity-style jumping or something? Any kind of help is welcome.

  • Please post a [minimal, complete and verifiable example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) that we can copy, run and test. And explain how your code is supposed to work. Also, have you checked out any other answers on Stack Overflow? There are already quite a lot of questions about jumping. – skrx Apr 22 '18 at 12:21
