ok, thats the code, but for some reason kirby does not change into 'pound mode'

[dtothabreezy]

what part of the code is wrong do u need something like
if jumpstate==jumping and pad:cross then pound

or something else:cool:

[crait]

it loads, just when you press down when your falling, nothing happens

[dtothabreezy]

so u want it to load while your falling

[crait]

no, i want it to load the picture kirbyp if kirby is falling and you press down bottun

[dtothabreezy]

if player.jumpstate=="falling" and pad:down then your image here:D

[yaustar]

Change

if pad:down() and Player.jumpstate == "ground" then
Player.image = Playerc
end
to

if pad:down() then
if Player.jumpstate == "ground" then
Player.image = Playerc
end
if Player.jumpstate == "falling" then
Player.image = Playerp
end
end

oh man, thanks yaustar, you are amazing!

background=Image.load("bg.png")
while true do
screen:blit(0,0,background,false)
screen:blit(Player.x,Player.y,Player.image,true)

end

if Player.gravity > 200 then Player.gravity = 200
end

Player.y = Player.gravity

screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end

the game loads fine, its just doesnt want to work

[dtothabreezy]

im absolutley positive that this will work
if pad:down() and player.jumpstate=="jumping"
then your sprite

i tested it my self

[yaustar]

It be nice to say WHAT didn't work in VERY detailed terms.

Edit: Nevermind. The problem is that your Player is NEVER in the falling state.

change

if pad:down() then
if Player.jumpstate == "ground" then
Player.image = Playerc
end
if Player.jumpstate == "falling" then
Player.image = Playerp
Player.jumpstate = "pound"
end
end
to

if pad:down() then
if Player.jumpstate == "ground" then
Player.image = Playerc
end
if Player.jumpstate == "jumping" then
Player.image = Playerp
Player.jumpstate = "pound"
end
end

[crait]

your right
ill try this one yaustar
but make some more mods to itt
man, your really good at this lua thing

[crait]

yep this one worked! thanks everyone!
