FIRST OF ALL MARIO IS NINTENDO PROPERTY THIS IS JUST FOR EDUCATIONAL PORPUSE. lol now that, that is out of the way...so i made mario bounce and lose velocity each time it goes down the y axis. and i have a bounce counter. the thing is that the bounce counts each time it goes down to the y axis. how can i make it stop counting when it stops jumping? here is the public key if someone want to help.

Can you reword your question it doesn't really make sense. You want the bounce counter to reset at a certain point?

I want the counter to stop when the character stop bouncing.

when the player jumps from the ground, set the bounce counter to whatever amount of bounces you want. then, when the player hits the ground, if the bounce counter is bigger than 0, set the y velocity to -75% of the original y velocity. should work in theory.

you realize that doesn't help at all you know.

dude that is straight-up bounce-handling code in words can you put some effort forward yourself

also, what exactly were you looking for? i need a concise explanation of what you want. is it that you're counting jumps? counting literal bounces? bouncing based on the bounce count?
