My character immediately jets downwards after walking off of a tile

Hello,

In the game I am creating, I am moving my character with move_and_slide() which works perfectly most of the time. However, whenever the player walks the character off of a tile, the character will slide down the tile sometimes with incredible speed. This isn't necessarily gamebreaking but it does make it obnoxious to

I have no idea how to operate this form so I accidentally sent that out but here's the ending - it's obnoxious to operate the game with this bug

Welcome to the forums @anonymoose2!

What does your code look like? Specifically, are you applying gravity? It sounds like the issue could be that the KinematicBody keeps getting more and more downward force, that after walking off a tile, is applied all at once. It could be that you need to add a condition that checks if the the player is on the ground (using something like is_on_floor or a Raycast2D node) and if the player is on the ground, applying very little gravity or no gravity at all.

You are probably accumulating velocity on the y axis when the player isn't falling due to something like velocity.y += gravity * delta;
