actor movement more smooth on iphone?

Jaxter

Finally with game salad wiever my game is on phone, looks great, but i dont like control ( work of accelometer ) . actor moving up down left and right speed was 200 on web br is was great and dinamic but on phone is stucking in moments is bad.. so i incase speed to around 120 .. but it is too slow .. is possible to make actr movments more fluid and smooth whan changing from up to down and left to right ?

I don't consider myself an expert in any sense of the word, and I certainly have no idea if this is what you're looking for, but:

Could you apply a drag behaviour for smoothness, and put the movement value somewhere in between the 2 you already have (120 and 200)?

Or try using the data from the accelerometer as part of the speed.

So for up/down its using game.accelerometer.X for data. When the value is negative, it goes up, and when positive, it goes down.

If you use the Move behavior you can have the speed be
min(120, -200*game.accelerometer.X) direction 90 degrees relative to scene.

That way the more you tilt in either direction, the faster it goes but with a limit on the max speed.

So my controls looks like there, what i must add here? move to function?

Hmm i made like you said to test for moving my actor up.. but now in game moden no more working keyboard , and in phone it moves with speed 100 but not going faster in end..

is all there is right: http://www.raganasligzda.lv/citi/movex.png

CodeMonkey

it won't work with the keyboard using the accelerometer because the accelerometer is always 0.

and the min(100, accelerometer*200) is 0.

just for testing, make an actor that display texts the game.accelerometer.X value. Then you can see how big (or small) the values you can get with that device attribute.

can you sow in screenshoot it.. pleas.. right way

pleas..

Am I understanding this right?

If I set the first number in the equation to 0 it will not work when testing with keyboard, but should work when testing on iphone with gsviewer? Would this be "smoother" than setting the first number to say 100?
