I can't make my dinosaur jump in Scratch. How do I fix it?

Question

I've recently made a game in Scratch named Dino T-rex. However, I can't make the dinosaur jump when an obstacle comes. It doesn't jump when the up arrow is clicked. Rather, it just goes front. How do I fix it?

Answer 1

When you use the glide command your dino is only moving to the right and then stopping because the second glide block is to the same coordinates. You only want to change the second coordinate because then, the Y coordinate, so that the dino doesn't move left nor right, just up then straight down.

Also, you should not make it wait for 2 seconds, it is far too long. It is better if you just have a blank wait block so it goes straight up then back down.
