How to make a jump pad

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

How should I make a jump pad that boosts you into the air and the part that you touched that boosts you into the air won’t work for another 10 seconds.

I made this script

local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
	if not debounce then debounce = true
		script.Parent.Velocity = script.Parent.CFrame.UpVector * 100 
		wait(0)
		script.Parent.Velocity = script.Parent.CFrame.UpVector * 0
		wait(10)
		debounce = false
	end
end)

is there a better way to organize this script? Like using a different method?

It doesn’t work for some reason. It only works once then does not work again. Its velocity also changes when I dont want it to. Its like a randomized jump pad basically in my own words. AlSo thats the other part. How do I set how high it goes and it keeps keeping the height it goes to instead of going up 10 studs then 9 then 8 and so on.

Why not just obtain the Humanoid of the Character that touched the Part in the first place? Not sure why you’re using the Velocity property of a BasePart, as that’s deprecated

local DB = false
local Part = script.Parent

local function Touched(Hit)
    local Hum = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

    if not DB and Hum then
        DB = true
        Hum.JumpPower = 75 --The Default JumpPower for a Humanoid is 50
        Hum.Jump = true
        wait(10)
        DB = false   
        Hum.JumpPower = 50
    end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(Touched)

I want to make it so when you touch the part you automatically jump.

#5

Just set the Hum.Jump property to true then

#6

hence this?

local DB = false
local Part = script.Parent

local function Touched(Hit)
	local Hum = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

	if not DB and Hum then
		DB = true
		Hum.JumpPower = 75 --The Default JumpPower for a Humanoid is 50
		wait(10)
		DB = false   
		Hum.JumpPower = true
	end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(Touched)

I re-edited the script, it should make the Character who touches it automatically jump (Not simultaneously though) and have an increased Jump Boost for 10 seconds

#8

it doesnt say you edited it…Probably my trashy wifi.

@JackscarIitt I don’t see the edit.

It’s the post I re-edited in Post #3

question: what does the jump refer to? Is it just an abbreviation for jump power?

#12

also sorry about this but I realized that I want it make it so you dont have a jump boost it just makes you jump once.

#13

It doubles as a way to see if the humanoid is currently jumping and also as a way to basically call :Jump() on the humanoid

#14

oh. Thanks for that piece of knowledge.

also never mind I figured it out.

Sorry, I should worded myself better. There is no :Jump() function in the humanoid, you should use your original solution of setting Jump to true. I meant to say that it’s like calling :Jump() as an example
