Indeed, Coal uses the PMO. Also my compo game uses it, and you can swim. Basically swimming is just lower gravity, with endless jumping. Wall bouncing needs sensors on each side of the guy or else it won't work I think.
You can log off any time you like, but you can't ever leave.
Eeeeew, your first mistake is using the Platform Movement Object.
But yeah, water is always low gravity, and then either low jump strength and unlimited jumps or a single jump of normal jump strength (like in a lot of games with robots, like Megaman, where they sink but can jump extra high).
And then wall jump either have sensors on the sides of the character, or on the sides of the walls (which I find easier, but only because my walls are already covered in sensors). When the sensor is in contact with the person/wall then you slow your fall (holding onto the wall, usually when pressing a button towards the wall) and/or get an extra jump as long as you're in contact with it.
Oh, and don't use the Platform Movement Object, it's three parts useful and one part pure evil.

Don't speak such crap. The PMO is an awesome object, easy to use and manipulate and feels a damn site better than 90% of custom platform movements Ive ever played. I think you'll find quite a few people agree with me that it's a good object to use.
I've never used the PMO, but the only thing you should have to do is copy the code for the original jump except change the code for him being on the ground to not being on the ground + touching a wall. That's how you would do a custom one anyways.

Id have side sensors that only position themselves at the players sides when hes falling, and are in the same direction of the player... so
Hes falling, facing left, there's a detector on the left side of him. If it overlaps the backdrop and user presses jump again, he changes direction and jumps, causing the himself and the sensor to face right, ready to overlap the right wall... lol hope that made sense.. I think that should kinda work.

Also, I bet I could figure this out sorta fast, but how to double jump???
