function onKeyPressed(code, key) {
    //Won't change the player.canJump as you could keep it as a check
    //If the player could jump in theory for other scripts
  if (key == "s" && player.canJump == true && player.z == 0) {

      //Create the shadow image
    showImg(20, "shadow.png", player.x+0.5, player.y+1.5);
    changeImgVis(20, 1);
    findImg(20).layer = 0;
      
      //I rathered to make it into one for() loop and have if statements
      //Inside of it instead of creating 2 loops, probably just a personal
      //Preference
    for (temp.i = 0; temp.i < JUMP_HEIGHT*2; temp.i += 0.05) {

        //Since i took the JUMP_HEIGHT times 2, I can create such a check
      if (temp.i < JUMP_HEIGHT) {
        player.z += 0.05; //Move the player up
      }
      else {
        player.z -= 0.05; //Move the player down
      }
    }

      //failsafe reset the player.z
    player.z = 0;

      //hide the shadow as you will probably move back to the original one
    hideImg(20);
  }
} 


I had just read read this this morning but I figured it out last night! thanks though!

I just simply change the z value of the player and the shadow stays at (player.x), and (player.y-player.z)

Works like a charm. I never knew about the z factor til yesterday so I would like to thank you graal forums for making life a lot easier on me lol
