Resolved Hollow knight style jumping

so i made a third person controller and wanted a jump mechanic kinda like hallow knights. it didn't work and said i had some compiler errors. i couldn't figure out why and saw no compiler errors. can someone fix my code or post their own hallow knight jumping for me to use?
heres my code:

Code (CSharp):

1.  if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
2.         {
3.            JumpButtonDown = True;
4.         }
5.         if(JumpButtonDown == True)
6.         {
7.            if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
8.            {
9.               Velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(JumpHeight * -2f * Gravity);
10.            }
11.            else
12.            {
13.                Velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(JumpHeight * -1f * Gravity);
14.                JumpButtonDown = False;
15.            }
16.         }

id be really grateful if someone could help

 

Let me offer you this riddle:

It is

true

that you must pay attention to capitalization.

It is

false

that capitalization does not matter.

 

Also, check the radio buttons in the upper right corner of your console window. There are three... make sure they are all enabled.

 

Also

Code (CSharp):

1. if(JumpButtonDown = True)

is definitely a bug. You want

==

for checking equality. A single

=

is an assigment.

 

Also, line 5 probably should be two equals signs...

 

Also... why are you checking jump... the checking jump?!

 

checking jump automatically means the space bar

 

Follow the logic:

Line 1 checks the Jump Input, then sets a boolean.

Later on, AFTER you check the boolean, you check the Jjump input again.

ALSO: the test on line 5 will NEVER fail: you used one equal sign instead of 2 equal signs. See posts above.

 

its not a boolean its a float. i wrote at the top where you assign the variables and stuff

Code (CSharp):

1. float JumpButtonDown = False;

 

This makes no sense to me so I will bow out now.

 

im sorry. im brand new to coding and didnt know it was supposed to be a boolean. im only 13 and started about a month ago

 

You really saw no compilation error after this... ?

Code (CSharp):

1.    
2. float JumpButtonDown = False;
3.  

OK you might be telling the truth, but it was there ?

You cannot implicitly convert boolean to float in c#.

 

i didnt check. im new to coding. but i fixed the problem and the code was waaay simpler than ithought.
