Assistance with left and right movement

butterbean

I'm having trouble with the left and right movement with the multi-touch controls

I created 2 boolean attributes game.moveleft and game.moveright

under the Right touch key:

I placed the rule:

When touch is pressed:
Change game.moveright to true

When touch is released:

Change game.moveright to false

(Same thing for left arrow)

Under my main actor:

When game.moveright is true

Animate:

When self.motionlinearvelocityX <175

Accelerate:
1500

Change attribute: Self.facingleft to false

What happens is, when I let off the right or left key, she won't animate moving, but she slides on the ground like it's slippery ice

How do I make her stop, when I had the keyboard controls, they worked perfect with the other rules in place, and she would stop when you let off the left or right key

Anyone ? How do I make her stop sliding?

I added an accelerate based movement actor. And a stop rule when moveright and moveleft are both false.

I don't have access to the plug-in right now but thanks for posting up the demo! How do you tell an actor to stop?

You can download the project by saving the linked file at the Download Project button at the bottom right of the game area. Save it and rename it as a .zip and unzip it to look at the project.

Stop uses the Change Velocity to 0.
