Move Attribute with Gravity?

TouchTiltGames

My actor moves left and right with the Move attribute, I want to avoid using Accelerate if posible. My issue is that when the actor, say is coming off of a ramp, it keeps going along the same path and doesn't descend until I press Up on the mouse.

I have gravity on, I've tried adding an accelerate down on the actor..all kinds of things.

How can you get the actor to go back down while he's still in the air or does Move overpower that?

Try changing linear velocity x instead of move. It is a little better on processing power, too. Move just moves the direction it is set. I use accelerate to simulate gravity, too as it is a whole lot better on performance.

Thanks, Ace.

So a change attribute?

I'm using: When left is pressed, move left and When right is pressed move right...

Rule when left is pressed:

change attribute self motion linear velocity x to -100 (or any negative value you want)
Otherwise: change attribute self motion linear x to 0

Rule when right is pressed:
change attribute self motion linear velocity x to 100 (or any positive value you want)
Otherwise: change attribute self motion linear x to 0

Thanks guys! I'll try the template
