    I finally found a solution for the jumpbutton when it doesn't work anymore.

    Many have the problem that the jump button, especially in Jump and Run games suddenly no longer works. I have tried countless settings but nothing helped. According to support it was due to Ground Thersehold. I tested everything and found out that whenever I use an action item and I change the gameplay, the jump button goes all of a sudden. So I tested as long as I could to see what the problem was. I simply reset Ground Thesehold with the Action button and since then I never had a problem with the Jump button again. I just put an action button over the jump button and it works fine.



    Settings for Action Item
    Important settings

    Duration 0.001
    Appearance Chance 100
    Ground Thereshold 0.1
    Bounce Force 0.001

    UI Action Button
    Important settings
    Block touch through :OFF (Jump Button and Action fix Button)
    Unlimited Use: ON
    The jump Button and the ACTION FIX BUTTON on the same position (Stick to Edge on or off both)

    I hope I could help some. ;)

    Actually, with the solution only a reset of the settings of ground theresehold takes place and that is the reason why the jump button often does not work. Thus, the support would have to make the next update only a revision of the settings for this function.

    I have revised the bugfix a little bit. I will soon make a tutorial about what settings you need. The new version is a lot better and should now work for everyone.

    Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing the fix. This was a game breaking bug for ages. You did a lot for this community along the years. More than the whole bb support team combined. I hope Buildbox will reward you somehow but i doubt it :D

    According to support, this is not a bug, it is a setting thing. I have tried all settings and it was never good in the long run. Support couldn't even tell me the settings that were supposed to work. ;)

    What I have figured out for myself is that severe FPS drops cause this bug.

    I noticed that the bug can easily be triggered if (on your phone) you touch the lower part of the jump button (like the edge of the phone screen) I also submitted the bug long time ago to support with screenshots and video but no reply. Anyway, it is working great now with your fix. You have no ideea how happy you made me :D .

    For all those where it does not work so well with the trick I have found another solution. I spent a few days to make the setting so that even in my problem game (Dan the Dungeon Digger) the jump button works 99% of the time. I found that if you set Bounceforce to 1 it works beautifully. There have been reports of the character sticking to the ground at some point. So I thought it could possibly be fixed with a small bounce and lo and behold it works. You can try this and I hope that the last problems with the jump button are solved.

    Sets the idle frames in the UI to 0
