Bare jumping

I'm getting problems on scripting a side scrolling game, i want the character to jump, but don't move forward or backwards, just straight up, the objective is to avoid boxes on a factory track.

What're you trying now, and what is it doing that's inadequate?

Here is the same example script I gave Misac in IRC. I haven't tested it in a game, and it may need a little adjusting, but it should be a good starting place for the type of conveyor-belt based jumping-only sidescroller that Misac was telling me about.

EDIT: gosh, posting scripts in code blocks here is kinda hopeless. Anytime there is a less than or greater than, it mangles the posted script. Put on pastebin instead
