I am currently working on a leap/dive function and got it somewhat working, but after a go it doesn’t seem to work.

a thing you could do is just set the y coordinate slightly higher, then wait a bit, then slightly higher, then wait a bit and so on to achieve the looks of a jump.

well that might work, but its more tedious work and doesn’t work to help solve the problem of the main function stopping after a second use. the function works for this; it just doesn’t work twice for some unknown reason.(edit while writing, it seems to be random when it stops)

You’re overcomplicating it.

 ![Wow, how simple!](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/3/5/357925fa48c1fe054570db7ed674baaf4f87af13.png)  
This is all you need in your function.

All I did is do Y acceleration for gravity lol, but maybe that won’t work so much if you dont have a floor for the sprite to land on
