Hi all,

Protected download

In the Super Mario Bros. series of games, as well as a few other platformers on the market, the player can make their character jump and hit a box or other square object that causes something to happen or an item to appear.  This is the effect I am trying to do and yet having trouble with.

ISSUES:

• I can make my character 'jump' to the box, but I don't want him showing the jumping curve animation.  Instead, I'd rather my character just go straight up and down and not do the jumping curve.
• If I change it instead to 'move up' 'move down' rather than the 'jump', he doesn't move because of the impassible tile between him and the box.
• When the player touches the box, the box's event does not activate, despite the box having a player touch event.

Please keep in mind that I do not have an actual jumping system.  Rather, I have an invisible 'action key' event placed 2 squares below, where the player must be on the square and be pressing the key for him to jump.

And, as always, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
