How to flip gravity?

Frazzle

Basically, I want the actor to accelerate up or down every time i press the space bar.(VVVVVV style).
I've tried it by making an attribute called 'self gravity' and setting it up like this:
When space is pressed when self gravity is true, accelerate upwards at 700.
When space is pressed when self gravity is false,accelerate downwards at 700.
But when i press space nothing happens or it only flips gravity once.

Any help?

Try negative number Or rotate camera 180 degrees

I don't recommend rotating the camera 180 degrees unless you want to deal with the issues involving touch point detection.

self.gravityCoefficient = 1

accelerate 90 (scene) acceleration 700*self.gravityCoefficient

rule spacebar down
change attribute self.gravityCoefficient = gravityCoefficient * -1

yeah camera rotating is very messy at the moment, hope they do something about this soon because it sure would make my current project alot more user friendly to play!

u could try this if u live in the northern hemisphere move to the southern hemisphere or vice-verse
