Thought this would fit best in scripting since I'm guessing the answer will require some amount of scripting.
I'm kind of nitpicking here, but is there anyway to make it so when the player holds down the jump key (UP), it doesn't make them bounce continually after landing from the first jump? I'd like to implement a seperate jumping animation for my player sprite. I managed to make it so the jumping animation plays whenever the player (initially) jumps off of solid ground, but if they continue to hold the up key, it switches back to the standard running sprite and continues to bounce. I'm thinking it might be a little confusing to see the player sprite jumping once, then bounce every other time, in addition to the fact that the animations are pretty cool and I'd like to show them off. Is it possible to make it so pressing (and holding) up only makes the player jump one time? Or is there a way to ensure that the jump animation ALWAYS plays when the player presses up, even if they continue to hold the key down?

Here is a simple script that will immediately turn off the Up arrow key after the sprite jumps. It only affects the keyboard, but an additional line could easily be added to also affect JoyActions as well if you want the joystick to behave the same way.
Option Explicit
Sub Player_OnAfterMoveSprites()
With ProjectObj.GamePlayer
.KeyActions = .KeyActions And Not eActionBits.ACTION_UP
End With
End Sub
HostObj.SinkObjectEvents ProjectObj.GamePlayer, "Player"
HostObj.ConnectEventsNow()
ProjectObj.GamePlayer.Play 16
