How to stop the character from running continuously and jumping while it is still in mid-air?

[Deino]

Hey everyone, I succeeded in adding animations to my character but it keeps running off the platform, I want it not to jump again until it has reached the platform as well.

var game = new Phaser.Game(800,600,Phaser.AUTO,'gameDiv');var mainState = {	preload: function()	{		game.load.spritesheet('dude','assets/dude.png',32,48);		game.load.image('wh','assets/wallHorizontal.png');	},	create: function()	{		game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);		game.stage.backgroundColor = '#71c5cf';		this.dude = game.add.sprite(400,330,'dude');		this.wh = game.add.sprite(380,380,'wh');		game.physics.arcade.enable(this.wh);		this.wh.body.immovable = true;		game.physics.arcade.enable(this.dude);		this.dude.body.gravity.y = 1000;		var spaceKey = game.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.SPACEBAR);		spaceKey.onDown.add(this.jump,this);		var lcur = game.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.LEFT);		lcur.onDown.add(this.lmove,this);		var rcur = game.input.keyboard.addKey(Phaser.Keyboard.RIGHT);        rcur.onDown.add(this.rmove,this);        game.physics.arcade.enable(this.dude);        this.dude.animations.add('left', [0, 1, 2, 3], 10, true);        this.dude.animations.add('turn', [4], 20, true);        this.dude.animations.add('right', [5, 6, 7, 8], 10, true);	},	update: function()	{     game.physics.arcade.collide(this.dude,this.wh,null,null,this);     if(this.dude.inWorld == false)     {     	game.state.start('main');     }     	},	jump: function()	{		this.dude.body.velocity.y = -300;	},	lmove: function()	{		this.dude.body.velocity.x = -300;		this.dude.animations.play('left');	},	rmove: function()	{		this.dude.body.velocity.x = 300;		this.dude.animations.play('right');	}};game.state.add('main',mainState);game.state.start('main');

in arcade physics you have a very convenient method called "onFloor()"   to find out if a body is on floor..   that's all you need

I want the player to stop running after sometime, how do I do that? 

[hollowdoor]

If you want the player animation to be still just use the frame property.

 

Like:

this.dude.frame = 40;

Put that somewhere in your update after an if else condition you like.

 

Like valueerror said. You can check the onFloor() state, and set the sprite frame to whatever you want.

[valueerror]

oh.. and in your case you need to set velocity.x to 0 somewhere if no button is pressed. you know that every basic tutorial and some of the official examples cover all of these problems

[Deino]

Thanks, valueerror and hollowdoor, can you provide links for any such tutorial that covers everything? I have seen flappybird and platformer. I understand most of the code in phaser-examples but not all of it.

I modified the jump function to include onFloor and changed gravity to 250 but it does not work

jump: function()	{        if(this.dude.body.onFloor())        {		this.dude.body.velocity.y = -300;        }	},

Maybe this helps?
