Moving and accelerating in Gamesalad

Brundi

Hi, I am making a game like doodle jump like I mentioned in my last post and I have run into a problem.

I have set the characters gravity down using accelerate in direction 270 and that is working out fine but when I add
two rules saying when left is pressed move left and when right is pressed move right.

That all works great but when I press left or right it stops the character from accelerating downward and he just moves
left or right depending on which one I press. When I let go of ether of the buttons however, it starts to accelerate downward
again.

This also happens when it is moving up after it bounces off of the obstacle and it is very frustrating.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank You, Brandon

Thank you for the advice but i'm not looking to spend any money I'm just looking for a quick tutorial or a post on how to do it

I have a tutorial linked below that shows one way of doing movement, jumping and moving at the same time. It's not in the context of a Doodle Jump game but you might find it helpful.
