How to jump only when standing on the ground? (Python) - python

As of now, I jump whenever I press space. How can I make it so I only jump when standing on something? Would I create some variables such as STANDING and JUMPING? And if I do, how to I reference to them in my class Player? Here is my code, all help is appreciated. Thanks everyone.

player.jump()
all_sprites.update()
hits = pg.sprite.spritecollide(player, ground_sprite, False)
if hits:
player.pos.y = hits[0].rect.top or platform.rect.top
player.vel.y = 0

all_sprites.draw(screen)

pg.quit()
game_loop()

In your Player class add a standing flag. Then when space is pressed before performing the jump check if standing is true. If standing is false then do not allow the jump to happen, essentially:
onSpaceBar() {
if(standing) {
\\ perform jump
standing = false;
}
}
Then also make sure after the jump is completed (i.e. you land on something) set the standing flag back to true.

Closed 2 years ago.
I'm making a platform game and I've got collisions working, however with the platforms there seems to be an extra cube area on the left side which the player can walk on. I can't seem to figure out how to remove it. Below is some of the code I believe is the cause of it however I'm not sure exactly.
. I've trimmed down the image for the platforms etc but the problem persists.
background_image = pygame.image.load("JungleBackground.png")
done = False
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
black = ( 0, 0, 0)
white = ( 255, 255, 255)
x = 300
y = 88
class Character(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
self.image = pygame.Surface((100,100))
self.image.set_colorkey(black)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center=(50, 300))
self.rect.x = 50
self.rect.y = 300
self.pos = vec(50, 300)
self.vel = vec(0,0)
self.acc = vec(0,0)
self.image.blit(pygame.image.load("TheoHillsS.png"),(0,0))
def characterJump(self):
self.rect.y += 1
hits = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(self, platforms, False)
self.rect.y -= 1
if hits:
self.vel.y = -13
def update(self):
self.acc = vec(0, 0.5)
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pygame.K_a]:
self.acc.x = -PLAYER_ACC
if keys[pygame.K_d]:
self.acc.x = PLAYER_ACC
# apply friction
self.vel.x *= PLAYER_FRICTION
self.vel += self.acc
self.pos += self.vel
self.rect.midbottom = self.pos
class Platform(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self, x, y, w, h):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
self.image = pygame.Surface((100, 88))
self.image.fill(black)
self.image = pygame.image.load("Platform1.png")
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(topleft=(x, y))
all_sprites = pygame.sprite.Group()
platforms = pygame.sprite.Group()
character = Character()
all_sprites.add(character)
p1 = Platform(-80, 350, WIDTH - 400, HEIGHT - 10)
p2 = Platform(175, 220, WIDTH - 400, HEIGHT - 10)
p3 = Platform(500, 350, WIDTH - 400, HEIGHT - 10)

hits = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(character, platforms, False)
for platform in hits:
if character.vel.y > 0:
character.rect.bottom = platform.rect.top
character.vel.y = 0
elif character.vel.y < 0:
character.rect.top = platform.rect.bottom
character.vel.y = 3
character.pos.y = character.rect.bottom
screen.blit(background_image,[0,0])
all_sprites.draw(screen)
pygame.display.flip()
game_intro()
game_loop()
pygame.quit()
quit()

The collision is tested against the bounding rectangle of the image, not the area drawn on the image. Make sure the platforms and player fill almost the entire area of the pygame.Surface.
Instead of drawing the player on a transparent Surface that is much larger than the player, use the Surface created by pygame.image.load directly:
class Character(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
self.image = pygame.image.load("TheoHillsS.png")
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(topleft = (50, 300))
self.pos = vec(50, 300)
self.vel = vec(0,0)
self.acc = vec(0,0)
# [...]

I am creating a 4-way movement, tile based rpg. The code I have written for collision detection is relatively simple but I have a minor graphical error.
The player moves directly between evenly spaced tiles. To control the speed the player moves at there is a walk buffer of 200 seconds. When the player collides with a wall, they should be pushed back in the same direction they hit the wall. This works, however, very briefly the player sprite will flicker in the wall.
I suspect it's to do with the player update function and how that's ordered but I've messed around with it to no avail.

You're setting the rect before checking for collision but not resetting it after the collision check.
Here is the updated code (in Player class, update method):
self.hit_rect.topleft = self.pos
player_collisions(self, self.game.walls) # may change postion
self.hit_rect.topleft = self.pos # reset rectangle

I am making a flappy bird replica and I can't get a collision mechanism. At the moment i'm trying to use .coliderect() but i'm not 100% sure how to. Here is the two classes. I'd like the program to do something, or just print('x') when the bird and the pipe collide, but when they collide at the moment the program does not do or output anything.
import pygame
vec = pygame.math.Vector2
BLACK = (0,0,0)
WIDTH = 500
HEIGHT = 400
pygame.init()
window = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))

self.rect = self.skin.get_rect()
self.rect.center = (WIDTH / 2, HEIGHT / 2)
self.vx = 0
self.vy = 0
self.pos = vec(WIDTH / 2, HEIGHT / 2)
self.vel = vec(0, 0)
self.acc = vec(0, 0)
def update(self):
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
quit()
window.fill(BLACK)
self.acc = vec(0, 0.7) #having 0.5 adds gravity
self.vy = 0
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pygame.K_SPACE]:
self.vel.y = -7
if keys[pygame.K_LEFT]:
self.acc.x = -0.5 #change to y to add vertical motion
if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
self.acc.x = 0.5 #change to y to add vertical motion
#applys friction
self.acc.x += self.vel.x * -0.08 #FRICTION
#motion equations
self.vel += self.acc
self.pos += self.vel + 0.5 * self.acc
self.rect.center = self.pos
window.blit(self.skin, self.pos)
class Pipe():
def __init__(self,x,y):
self.image = pygame.Surface((50,60))
self.image.fill(RED)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.pos = vec(x,y)
def blit_pipe(self):
window.blit(self.image, self.pos)
def border_check():
if (flappy.pos.y)+32 > HEIGHT: #this is the very top of the flappy
print("You are under\n")
pygame.quit()
quit()
if flappy.pos.y < 0:
print("You are over\n") #this is the very top of the flappy
pygame.quit()
quit()
pipey = Pipe(300,200)
pipey.blit_pipe()
pipey2 = Pipe(100,200)

flappy = Bird()
window.blit(flappy.skin, flappy.pos)
while True:

clock.tick(30)
pygame.display.update()

You never set the position of the rects of the Pipe instances so they are still positioned at the default coords (0, 0). There are several ways to set the coords, for example you can pass the coords as the topleft argument to get_rect.
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(topleft=(x, y))
If something is wrong with the collision detection, print the rects to see the actual positions.

I want to make a mega man similar game where you jump around and shooting stuff. But I've noticed there's something wrong with the collision, I have a video below:

I'm planning to make this project open source, so anybody can customize it. Please don't steal this code, but you may use chunks of it to help you with something. because I haven't put it on GitHub publicly yet.

Thanks all help is appreciated.

This part of the loadLevel method causes the problem:
for amount in range(0, enemies):
group2.add(FlyingEnemy(self))
group3.add(FlyingEnemy(self))
self.enemies.add(FlyingEnemy(self))
self.enemiesList.append(FlyingEnemy(self))
You're adding 4 different FlyingEnemy objects to these groups and the list (btw, the list is useless), so the sprites in the self.all_sprites group and in the self.enemies group are not the same.
Since you're only updating the all_sprites and not the enemies, the sprites in the enemies group, which are used for the collision detection, stay at the left screen edge all the time and are also invisible, because you don't draw this group.
To solve the problem, create one instance and add this instance to the two groups:
for amount in range(0, enemies):
enemy = FlyingEnemy(self)
self.enemies.add(enemy)
self.all_sprites.add(enemy)
I found the bug by printing the rect of one enemy sprite in the self.enemies group. Then I checked the update method of this sprite, but it looked correct, so I went to the instantiation part in loadLevel and noticed the mistake.

The error is caused by a sprite in your all_sprites group that has a list as its self.image attribute. I've just printed the sprites before the all_sprites.draw(screen) line
for sprite in all_sprites:
print(sprite, sprite.image)
and it was the player sprite which had a list as its image.
<Player sprite(in 1 groups)> [<Surface(40x25x32 SW)>, <Surface(40x25x32 SW)>]
In the load_movement_images method you define self.standing_frame as a list of two images/pygame.Surfaces and in __init__ you set self.image to the first item of that list. But in the animate method you set self.image to the whole list instead of the active image self.image = self.standing_frame and that leads to the error.
class Player (pygame.sprite.Sprite):
# Sprite for the player
def __init__(self):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
self.load_movement_images()
# self.image is the first image in the
# self.standing_frame list.
self.image = self.standing_frame[0]
# ...
def load_movement_images(self):
self.standing_frame = [no_mvmt_0, no_mvmt_1]
# ...
def animate(self):
now = pygame.time.get_ticks()
if not self.jumping and not self.running:
if now - self.last_update > 350:
self.last_update = now
self.current_frame = (self.current_frame + 1) % len(self.standing_frame)
# Here you set the self.image to the self.standing_fram list instead one image.
self.image = self.standing_frame
# It should be:
# self.image = self.standing_frame[self.current_frame]
