The Problem:
So I'm making this 2D platformer game and have run into a problem. When the player jumps onto a platform and goes of it gravity doesn't affect it and it won't fall down until you press the jump key again, it's like it thinks it's still on ground until you update him. I've narrowed the problem down to either the gravity or the collision but can't find the problem. Can anyone help? I've attached the code below.
