Question

How would i accomplish making a jump that takes the horizontal movement velocity and makes your jump that fast? I would know how to do this, but there is one major problem.

	var input_dir = Input.get_vector("left", "right", "up", "down")
	var direction = (head.transform.basis * Vector3(input_dir.x, 0, input_dir.y)).normalized()
	if direction:
		velocity.x = direction.x * speed
		velocity.z = direction.z * speed
	else: 
		velocity.x = 0.0
		velocity.z = 0.0

This is the code that does the movement
If we did not set the velocity.x and z to 0, the ground appears to be very slippery
jumping one (simple, really)

		isJumping = true
		velocity.y = JUMP_VELOCITY
		velocity.x = speed;
		velocity.z = speed;

Just to let the mods or whoever decides to answer this know, it extends CharacterBody3D

this is fine but if you like the pro gamer move fiction you can use:

		velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0,speed)
		velocity.z = move_toward(velocity.z, 0,speed)

for using velocity you can use

		velocity.y = (velocity.x + velocity.z)/2

for using movement you can use

		velocity.y = (abs(direction.x) + abs(direction.y))/2

but this will not let the player jump if they not already running so I recommend adding in an initial jump speed

@pham1506903 hes asking how to make the character jump in 2d is velocity the apt way to accomplish that? i dont use godot but like people’ve suggested i do
