Hold Spacebar, Stop Jumping

Questions & Answers
1

Hello,

My character jumps using spacebar. When I HOLD spacebar down, he jumps over and over and over. I want him to perform the jump each time spacebar is pressed; but not when spacebar is held down. The script I’m using is below:

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

public class Walker : MonoBehaviour {

private IRagePixel ragePixel;
 
public enum WalkingState {Standing=0, WalkRight, WalkLeft, JumpUp};
public WalkingState state = WalkingState.Standing;
public RagePixelSprite space;
public float walkingSpeed = 10f;


void Start () {
    ragePixel = GetComponent<RagePixelSprite>();
}

void Update () {
	if (Input.GetKey("space"))
    {
        state = WalkingState.JumpUp;
    }
    else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
    {
        state = WalkingState.WalkLeft;
    }
    else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
    {
        state = WalkingState.WalkRight;
    }
    else
    {
        state = WalkingState.Standing;
    }

    switch (state)
    {
			case (WalkingState.JumpUp):
            ragePixel.SetHorizontalFlip(false);
            ragePixel.PlayNamedAnimation("JUMP", false);
            break;
		
        case(WalkingState.Standing):
            ragePixel.SetHorizontalFlip(false);
            ragePixel.PlayNamedAnimation("STAY", false);
            break;

        case (WalkingState.WalkLeft):
            ragePixel.SetHorizontalFlip(false);
            ragePixel.PlayNamedAnimation("WALK", false);
            break;

        case (WalkingState.WalkRight):
            ragePixel.SetHorizontalFlip(false);
            ragePixel.PlayNamedAnimation("WALK", false);
            break;

    }
}

}

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

You can use the Input.GetKeyDown and Input.GetKeyUp. Set a bool to true when it’s down, and when GetKeyUp is captured and the bool is true, jump (and set the bool back to false).
