In my current game, I want part of one of the levels to be an underwater swimming part. What would be the best way to do this? I thought maybe that when you are in the water, the gravity could be lower and it would change to the swimming animation, and when you jump, you float up a bit. Any better ideas?
Thing is you need a floor to push off against when jumping. If you were to do a regular platform swimming bit then the sprite needs to gain height by swimming - not just recycling the jumping animation. If you get my drift, like.
I'm not good at swimming, though I could float a bit. If you want a quick solution, just make the jump strength weaker when jumping in water. If you want a more realistic one, make the jump weaker the deeper the character is in water (check Y position for deepness) down to a minimum jump strength.
No need to bother with anything more advanced
