problem smooth acceleration

wouter

hi guys,

i have a little problem with a speed acceleration:

i want this: when you touch there's a big speed boost and then it stops and get slowly back to a basic speed of 200.

[when touch is inside:
[timer-> for 0.1 seconds (no run completion)
[timer-> every 0.05 seconds (no run completion)
change attribute game.speed to game.speed+20
]
]
]

and after touch is pressed there must be a reduction:

[when attribute game.speed != (is not equal to) 200
[(and)when touch is outside
[timer-> every 0.5 seconds (no run completion)
change attribute game.speed to game.speed-10
]
]
]

well this isn't working at all... sometimes the speed goes to 220 and stuck and an other time there happened nothing...

how can i do this (smooth!)

wouter

still not working....
someone suggestions someone??

oh i see that i placed this in the wrong forum... can be moved to working with gamesalad.. srry;)

Hmm. I need something similar in my game. Maybe: When touch is pressed and touch is released, instead of touch inside, touch outside? I'm new, but that's what I'd try next, if you already haven't.

wouter

yeah i tried already;) (and i'm also new xD)
maybe it's a combination because i have tried everything (alright almost everything only not the good solution... xD)

JPickard

Hmm. Does the whole "game" speed up? Or just the background, or just the main actor?

either way. Keep us posted if you solve this.

wouter

yeah i will;)

euhm only the character, but the character will not move (stays on 1/3 of the screen) so maybe that's a problem?
(sometimes it works, only with a lot of shocking...)

wouter

mmmm it works (still a bit shocky), only one time and after that it does nothing..

when touch is inside:
timer for 2 seconds (no run completion)
timer every 0.08 sec (no run completion)
change attribute game.speed+2

and the slow down rule is off..

wouter

mmm if i replace the touch for mousebutton down then it workst perfect (only still a bit shocking^^)
is this a bug? will the touch work as i mean it to be on my iphone?

wouter

@$%#^$^$# still not good..
problem:
when the speed is not equal to 200 and the up button is not pushed down, there is a timer:
every 0.001 seconds->speedd=speed-1.
only... the character is moving backwards??! how can i fix this??

wouter

mmm maybe it's because it is change attribute and must be constrain attribute???
(don't know the differents between them jet (now going to find out;)
so if anyone knows you could spare me some time;P

nope not working...

wouter

bump^^
question:

(you have to slow down only the actor is moving back... xD)
