Jumping too high takes me to another screen. (PLS HELP)

[TheRealMorganTubeHD]

Okay, I've Been Working on testing out my game, and I'm trying REAL hard to fix the main character jumping SO FREAKING HIGH, it takes me to another screen, how do I fix this?

Under Project Settings -> User Constants you can set JUMP_SPEED_LO and JUMP_SPEED_HI.
The HI variable sets the speed roughly and the LO variable is for fine tuning.

No, I Mean How do I Prevent it from taking me to another screen WITHOUT adjusting the Jump Speed/Fine Tuning?

You could place solid tiles or do you want the player to leave the screen without the screen changing?

Another trick is to expand the playable area (in HUD & boxes) to 1 row on the top, in order to have the HUD and the Playable area overlapping.
And fill that row with solid tiles (using the Sub4 palette) on every screens.

Oh that's interesting, so there's no option from the 'screen info' section to have the player object not switch screens when going too high up ? That's something I'll have to think about in the way i design levels for my project.

Tried that, doesn't work.

You might have done it wrong

Here, I set the "Playable Area" overlapping the "HUD area":

Then on every screen, I place sold tiles on that row:

Of couse, it would work only if your HUD area is 2 rows of more.

And your player is not blocked, when you jump on the top of the screen?!

Could you share screenshots of your HUD settings and your screen collision? It's not we don't believe you but we need to check that before checking other things.
