Fake gravity in shooter module? 4.5.9

[Toad64]

Is there a simple way to "fake" a monster jumping in the shooter module? I don't think there's any gravity in the module, but I wanted to have an enemy do a jumping animation. Any tips on how to go about doing this?
That Byte Off deadline is coming faster than I'd like, haha!
Thanks in advance!

I think to do that you would need to implement gravity from the platformer modules.
Then create an ActionStep Flag that makes the object react to gravity.

Would be a kind of a tiring process.
Sorry I am not providing code, the deadline is also killing me lol

Jumping (like smilehero65 said) requires gravity. But you could make some sort of wave movement. Take a look at this tutorial:

[4.5.X] Sine Wave Monster Movement (Using Lookup Table)

I'm calling this sine wave movement but you could make modifications to manipulate the Y and/or X axis of your object however you want. Disclaimer: This is NOT the best or most efficient way to do this. I'm not a programmer. It's just what I could come up with using the knowledge I currently...

I would just use the platformer physics script and change...

doneWithH:
LDA Object_vulnerability,x
AND #%00000001
BEQ +skip
;;; What should we do if vulnerability bit 0 is flipped?
JMP doneWithGravity
+skip

to this:

doneWithH:
LDA Object_vulnerability,x
AND #%00000001
BNE+skip
;;; What should we do if vulnerability bit 0 is flipped?
JMP doneWithGravity
+skip

then in the action step you want the jump make the jump action have flag0 checked
after that you could just toy around with the action steps to figured out the movement you want

Hmmm, a couple of good suggestions to look at, thanks everyone. I'll play around and see what works best!
