Hello i am a new godot game developer. This is my code:

extends Node2D

var jump = false
func _ready():
	if jump == true:
		get_node("Player").velocity.y = -1000
	#the important part
	
	
	
func _on_Up_body_entered(body):
	var jump = true

i want to make it so that in if jump == true: get_node("Player").velocity.y = -1000
velocity.y repeats

If you want to check state every frame, put the code in the process function. _process(). The _ready() function just runs once when the node is loaded and ready.

You might want to try following some tutorials or books before attempting to write your own code. There are a lot of basic problems with what you posted, so you'll have to do some reading first. I suggest this book. It's for Godot 3.x, but the concepts apply to any version.

Would also recommend this, we're not being mean, I'm somebody who studied C# for 4 years with Unity and I went through at least some of this video just to acquaint myself with GDScript's quirks. As @cybereality mentioned there's plenty of bad practices we're seeing even in that little code sample you've given us. The big one I'm seeing is you shouldn't be searching for a node with a string, big no no in game development across languages.
