Code a Platformer Game | 5. Wall Jumping Done Right!

Wall Jumping is really common in nearly every Scratch platformer, but it's not often done right! In this episode we create the classic wall sliding, and wall to wall jumping mechanics found in your favorite platformer games.

Does wall jumping feature make the slip block useless now?

[dazcarrr]

this really is feeling like a more high quality remake of that platformer tutorial on scratch you made a while ago. you did the hitboxes better, the animations better, and now the variable jump height and the wall jumps better.

my wall slide is to fast and when i try to change it it just doesn't work anymore?

[nick]

Hey Griffpatch, i love how you visuallize the physics to make it better to unterstand! Go on with that!

[TwinProductions]

You're the best scratcher a scratcher has ever thought. Your tutorials are amazing!

[minecraftcraziness]

Hello! I actually learned more than the tutorial itself from this series.Awesome VIDEO!
I would like another series on open world scrolling survival RPG game.
Itll be cool!

I wanted to do something so i (without saving the project) left to erease my problem i did save it bevor i ran in the problem
BUT I LOST EVERYTHING WHEN I CAME BACK! I DID A LOT'S OF STUFF IN THERE

In the set costume script in the first if condition, you can put "wall slide > 0 and speed y < 0" to prevent the wall slide animation from playing when jumping up a wall

You know you're making a good game when you follow griffpatch's tutorial

[CrispyXLYT]

i love how you said 'WHEE!' as you were playing with a long jump duration. absolutely epic!

Guys say a very big thank you to griffpatch for creating all the costumes for us and Helping us for coding too ! How great hearted you are griffpatch !😊

[chibacha_CarBoi]

The wall slide and jump code weirdly doesn't work in my game, although the player does wall slide. The problem lies on the fact that the wall slide variable doesn't even change to the value 1, and it seems that the touching variable never has the value of 1 either... 😵‍💫

Hello Griffpatch, I had a doubt, I am making a Pen Shapes Engine, but can't think how to make ovals. I have figured out How to make 2-Infinity sided shapes.

[ChomikOto]

i used this tutorial to add wall jumping to your tutorial about scrolling platformer tutorial (customizing it a bit) because i didnt like how that wall jumping worked... could you add a tutorial about maybe moving and rotating platforms and checkpoints to your scroll platformer series? :)

[kingcoolkish]

Griffpatch you legend, another upload straight off the bat! Keep up the great content

[littlekittenfox]

When I jump against the wall, it just switches the player to the falling costume and sticks to the wall. Though it slowly, pixel by pixel, (not smooth) slides down. How can I fix this?

[earl.youtube]

I love how you go out of your own time to educate people! Keep up the good work! 👍

At my school we had a task to do a scratch game and my friend used this tutorial, I used lemonoids, and guess who won? The one with more code? NOPE! Lemonoids had way less code AND IT WON!

[tmoodyscratch]

Simply beautiful, beautifully simple. Just like all your tutorials, love how you solved all the problems associated with it!
