How to make a Long jump

Jedii40

Hi everyone, This may be a simple question but could someone give me some advice as to how to implement a long jump? So in other words I want the player to be able to hit a key on the keyboard and it launch them a certain distance. I have the ability to jump up implemented currently but I want something that would allow for more distance to be covered.

I attempted something like

if Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_TAB) and Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"): velocity.y = -400 velocity.x = -2000

where velocity is a Vector2(). I believe I have the movement down but the motion isn't quite right. What I mean by this is that my 2d sprite seems to move along the x axis first and then along the y axis and I want something where it moves along the y axis first and then along the x axis so that it appears more curved and natural. Anyway, Thanks for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any and all the help!

I don't know what you're talking about. It should be moving along both the x and y axis at the same time. What does your movement code look like? Also, I don't know if this might help, but have you considered reducing the gravity force on the character whenever he long jumps? That sort of mechanic is implemented in Mario games.
