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

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

or something else:cool:

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

so u want it to load while your falling

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

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

Change

end

the game loads fine, its just doesnt want to work

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

i tested it my self

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
