In-Game: gamepad_button_check_pressed() and ...check() give different jump results in Windy Woods template

[Michaelm82]

Description

if you us the if (gamepad_button_check_pressed(gamepad, gp_face1)) the jump Hight will not be the correct Hight. But if you use if (gamepad_button_check(gamepad, gp_face1)) the jump Hight will be correct. You can test this using windy winds. This issue happed in the newer run times and is still an issue in the newest beta runtimes as well as the run times in the stable build.

Expected Change

The jump hight should be the same as when using touch controlles keyboard. when you use the gamepad.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Start GameMaker
2. load windy winds
3. run the program
4. Press space bar the char will jump full Hight.
5. press jump on game pad and you will see the jump Hight is incorrect.
6. See the issue

The two functions do different things: gamepad_button_check_pressed only returns true for one frame gamepad_button_check returns true on each frame.

This is not a bug with GameMaker itself, but one in your project, so I will close this issue now. For coding support, please visit the GameMaker Community forum and create a thread there, asking for advice.

This is not a bug in my code. This worked just fine untill the newer master sdks. And this is the code from your program you have for platformer toutorial.
