How to make a character jump farther if more force is applied

#1

Hey everyone,

I wanted to find out how to make my character jump farther if more force is applied, or if the screen is touched longer. I currently have jump set up. The the variable I am using to control the jump is ‘monster.accel’. Here is my touch function for the jump:

[code]
function touched( event )
if(event.phase == “began”) then
if(event.x < 241) then
if(onGround) then
monster.accel = monster.accel + 27
end

It’s better to make one thread than to create dupes.
