Accelerometer.. Right / Left / STRAIGHT???

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I have a ball that moves left and right dependent on the tilt of the device. This is controlled by using the < and > 0 to decide if it goes left or right.

How can i also have an option for it to settle in the middle rather than continuing its movement to the opposite side. I do however NOT want the ball to come to a sudden stop but rather slowly decelerate.

Ive tried a few methods, none that i think up seem to work well though.

any help would be great.

    you could try to make a type of buffer zone by doing something like Less than -5 and greater than 5. I havnt used accelerometer much so I don't know but thats where I would start

    well hears the best way, there are a few demos you can search on the gamesalad opening sean they all show demos on the type of acceleration your looking for

    give him a break. If its a cookbook video which it probably is hes not in charge of the uploading. He makes them and send to gamesalad

    to make the ball slown down instead of coming to a complete stop

    when accelerometer y is < 0.1, and accelerometer y is > -0.1

    interpolate self motion linear x or y to 0.

    Thats for landscape mode

    ok thanks for your reply. But you know what its really great experience to watching tshirtbooth video and learning from that.

    For one of my games, I use a rule that sets acceleration in the opposite direction to the movement, whenever the linear velocity of that direction is different to zero. This affectively means there is a sense of drag on the object, and that as you ease off tilting the device it will decelerate.
