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

[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

[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
