Wont Jump When Runing Left

Hello

I am trying to making a simple 2D platformer with a run mechanic where if your press up the speed increases. When I jump while running to the right it works fine. But if I’m moving right while ruining and try to jump, the character won’t jump and just fall back down. I’m relatively new to coding and I’m not sure whats cause this behavior. Any help with explaining why this happens and what do do differently would be great!

Here is the script that does all the moment

extends KinematicBody2D
const UP = Vector2(0, -1)


export var Walk_Speed = 350
export var Run_Speed = 670
export var Gravity = 20
export var Jump_Force = 600


var location = Vector2()
var run = false


func _physics_process(delta):

    #Run
    if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_up"):
	    run = true
    else:
	    run = false

    #Jump
    if is_on_floor():
	    if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_accept"):
		    location.y = -Jump_Force

    #Both Input
    if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left") and Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
	    location.x = 0

    #Right Input
    elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
	    if run:
		location.x = Run_Speed
	    else:
		    location.x = Walk_Speed

    #Left Input
    elif Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
	    if run:
		    location.x = -Run_Speed
	    else:
		    location.x = -Walk_Speed

    #No Input
    else:
	    location.x = 0

    #Gravity
    location.y += Gravity


    location = move_and_slide(location, UP)

Thanks, Ace : )

If your jump key is space, this is a hardware problem called “Keyboard ghosting”, you cannot avoid it with common keyboards, map your keys in a way to avoid this issue.
Is related to the way keyboard keys are wired.

Check this site to see keyboard combinations that won’t work (a common one is up+left+space)

Thanks : ) I changed all my inputs to wasd and controller and works just fine now : )
