Accelerate bug. Help? :)

RH

I found a bug when using accelerate. It seems to override a .self attribute for some reason.

By this i mean I have a rule set up like so:


[this is everything on the only actor in the project]

When self.go is false and I have changed the actors self.motion X and Y to 0 accelerate is still in effect as the actor moves down the page in a jerky fashion although the speed is constant, it isn't actually accelerating. I know it is the accelerate rule that is causing this because if I remove it the actor won't move at all.

Here is an example project: http://gamesalad.com/game/8167

Annoying as it's getting in the way of my game. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

How can you have a -5 as your position y?

CodeMonkey

I'll report this, but as a work around, put a timer around the Change Attribute of the Linear Velocity, and set it to after .01 seconds.

Perfect, thanks! For anyone else that has this problem, I found it a little more effective to keep the change attribute as well as add one with a timer around. This way I didn't get the slight delay in stopping.

-5 exists, it's just out of view of the camera.

I had this one time. If I remember correctly, instead of timer that sucks up the already frail performance, I just changed the linear movement not to 0, but to something like 0.1 or the likes.
It actually worked, but I can't be sure because I don't have that proj anymore

I also used the same solution as Hachiko, although I had to change the linear velocity to 8 instead of 0 to stop it. Tested again and again in my project and it never failed.
