There doesn’t seen to be any difference in the jump height and the jump Pad height, not sure what’s going on

Player script

extends CharacterBody2D
class_name Player

@export var gravity = 400
@export var jump_force = 200
@export var speed = 125
@onready var animated_sprite = $AnimatedSprite2D

#func _process(delta):
#if Input.is_action_just_pressed(“move_right”):
#animated_sprite.play(“run”)
func _physics_process(delta):
if is_on_floor()==false:
velocity.y += gravity * delta
if velocity.y > 500:
velocity.y = 500

if Input.is_action_just_pressed("jump"): #&& is_on_floor():
		#velocity.y = -jump_force
		jump(jump_force)
	
var direction = Input.get_axis("move_left", "move_right")
if direction != 0:
		animated_sprite.flip_h = (direction == -1)

velocity.x = direction * speed
move_and_slide()

update_animations(direction)

func jump(force):
velocity.y = -jump_force

func update_animations(direction):
if is_on_floor():
if direction == 0:
animated_sprite.play(“idle”)
else:
animated_sprite.play(“run”)
else:
if velocity.y < 0:
animated_sprite.play(“jump”)
else:
if velocity.y > 0:
animated_sprite.play(“fall”)

Jump pad script

extends Area2D

@export var jump_force = 300

@onready var animated_sprite = $AnimatedSprite2D

func _on_body_entered(body):
if body is Player:
animated_sprite.play(“jump”)
body.jump(jump_force)

At first glance, your code looks ok from here. The first thing that comes to mind is that you might have a different value set up in the Inspector - that won’t be reflected in the code because that’s only a default value, and the script can’t indicate when the default value is being overwritten. If, for example, you’ve set the jump pad’s jump_force to 200 in the inspector, looking at the script will be misleading.

If that’s not what’s happening, I’d try jacking up the jump pad’s jump_force; if your player puts a new crater in the moon, then you have your answer =)

But you probably won’t see that if you’re not noticing a difference between 200 and 300. The best thing I could suggest at that point would be to insert a breakpoint and check the values in each case, but try the other stuff first and see if that’s the issue.

The breakpoint is a good idea, I might try print some values to see what it really is. I guess debugging is all part of it. Thanks

hi
The error is in your jump function,

you are not using the argument of the function to update velocity.y, instead you still use the global jump_force variable.

Should be:

func jump(force):
    velocity.y = -force
