Sprite Kit set Min. and Max. for Jump

I want to move a SKSpriteNode on the Y-Axis. The SKSpriteNode called Player has no Velocity.The Player can only jump if a Platform is in contact.

Everytime the Screen is touched, I want to give the Player an impulse with a minimum impulse or a maximum impulse

If the Screen is tapped shortly, the Minimum impulse should be e.g. y = 50. If the Screen is hold, that means the finger is on the Screen long, the Maximum should be e.g. y = 100.

But the Player should be also able to jump between the Minimum and Maximum height, if for e.g. the Screen is not long but also not shortly pressed, the Player should only get an impulse of y = 70.

If the Screen is hold, the Player should jump to his max height, fall down, and if it is in contact with the Platform again, it should jump, because you still hold the Screen.

I have already tried this with the suggested answer in this Thread:StackOverFlow But this does not give the Minimum jump, also no Press jump.

For clarity: The impulse should not be after the tap is done, but while it is tapped. The longer you hold, the longer the jump is.

Here is an working example on how to make something like:

  • long pressed jump based on duration of press
  • short (one tap jump)
  • restrict character to jump while in the air
  • keep character jumping while finger is on screen

Code (Swift 4.x)

import SpriteKit

struct Constants {
    static let minimumJumpForce:CGFloat = 15.0
    static let maximumJumpForce:CGFloat = 30.0
    static let characterSideSpeed:CGFloat = 18.0
}

class GameScene: SKScene,SKPhysicsContactDelegate
{
    let CharacterCategory   : UInt32 = 0x1 << 1
    let PlatformCategory    : UInt32 = 0x1 << 2
    let WallCategory        : UInt32 = 0x1 << 3

    var force: CGFloat = 16.0 //Initial force
    var pressed = false
    var isCharacterOnGround = false // Use this to prevent jumping while in the air
    let character = SKSpriteNode(color: .green, size: CGSize(width: 30, height:30))
    let debugLabel = SKLabelNode(fontNamed: "Geneva")

    override func didMove(to view: SKView)
    {
        //Setup contact delegate so we can use didBeginContact and didEndContact methods
        physicsWorld.contactDelegate = self
        physicsWorld.speed = 0.5
        //Setup borders so character can't escape from us :-)
        self.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(edgeLoopFrom: self.frame)
        self.physicsBody?.categoryBitMask = WallCategory
        self.physicsBody?.collisionBitMask = CharacterCategory

        //Setup character
        character.position = CGPoint(x: 150, y: 150)
        character.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(rectangleOf: character.size)
        character.physicsBody?.categoryBitMask = CharacterCategory
        character.physicsBody?.contactTestBitMask = PlatformCategory
        character.physicsBody?.collisionBitMask = PlatformCategory | WallCategory
        character.physicsBody?.allowsRotation = false
        character.physicsBody?.isDynamic = true
        character.physicsBody?.restitution = 0.1

        self.addChild(character)

}

Note that this is simple example, and in real application you will probably have to handle states like isOnTheGround in a different way. Right now, to determine if character is on the ground you just set isOnTheGround = true when character make a contact with platform, and set it to false in didEndContact...But there are situations when character can be in contact with platform while in the air (eg. side contact)...

EDIT:

I changed the code to let the player jump while pressed. Here is the result:

enter image description here

Important:

Actual platform implementation and contact handling is up to you and this is not tested. The only purpose of this example is to show you how to jump while pressed. Currently, physicsWorld.speed is set to 0.5 to make animation slower because its easier to debug like that, but you can change this to default value (1.0).

So, as you can see from the image, while player is on the first platform some small jumps are presented (by simple tapping, or short pressing). Then (player is still on first platform) long press has been made, and player has jumped on second platform. After that, another long press is done, but this time without releasing, and player starts jumping from one platform to another using maximum force.

This needs a lot of tweaking and proper platform & contact detection, but it can give you an idea about how to implement jumping you asked about.
