	Stopping the user from pressing the spacebar more than once at a time

I have my character controller almost exactly as I want him (so far). However, I am having an issue with jumping. I am using the javascript jumping script and it works great, except that the user can keep pressing the spacebar which keeps jumping and gaining altitude.

How can we only allow the spacebar be pressed one time per jump?

Here are the two code fragments (put in the main scene node):

When a key is pressed do something:

key: space
Keyevent - key pressed down
Action: If a variable has value do something
If is equal to
value
0
Execute javascript:

var jumpht =10;
var player = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("Gremlin");
ccbSetPhysicsVelocity(player, 0, jumpht, 0)
ccbSetCopperCubeVariable("isfalling", 0)

else not set

and

Every few seconds do something:

Execute a java script

var player = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("Gremlin");
var grounded = ccbGetSceneNodeProperty(player, "Position");

if (grounded.y <= 10)
    ccbSetCopperCubeVariable("isfalling", 0)

Thanks for the help.

You can shoot rays from the bottom of your feet.Then calculate the distance between the two pointsã€‚

If I could shoot rays from the bottom of my feet, i'd be a super hero or villian.

Ummmmm - please explain what you mean by shooting rays. What commands would I use? Possibly a code chunk for help?

While I appreciate the suggestion, it means little to nothing to me since I'd have no idea how to shoot rays from any part of my body (and yes, I know you are talkng about my 3rd person player character's feet).

var objName=scene.CollisionWorld.Selectors[g].Node.Name;

}
}
}

damn, that is some nice code...never knew about that and I am making a game...doh.

If I didn't know about that code I would create a new variable on start and time delay from start of jump till after set time allow jumping again..whatever works..

Wow. Thank you. Any way to explain what this does and where to put it?

Thanks.
