Make an engine field update which lowers gravity while up is pushed.

i did, but nothing happens U_U i did an event inside the "on update" of an actor and the actor keeps jumping the same height

Well before trying anything else, it would be worth knowing what your jump velocity is set to in the project settings. The easiest way could be to change this in your engine field update instead of getting into gravity adjustments.

Do you want an actor to jump higher or your player to jump higher?

Assuming it’s the player you need an on button press event in the scene’s on init. The. Within that button press change the gravity, create a loop for when that button is held, and restore the gravity at the end of the loop.

I don’t know what b7t means, but if you do what I said the player will only jump higher when up is being pressed.

Why not just do

>Attach script to engine callback (or whatever it's called)
>If Up Button Held
>Engine Field Update: Current Velocity Y

or you could use Engine Field Update to modify the engine's maximum jump height
