Character Control Problems

dmilinovichiii

I'm trying to create movement of a character using onscreen touch controls. When I first attempted this, I had the problem of having to lift my finger before I touched the other arrow to change direction, but I managed to fix this. Unfortunately, this caused another problem. When I released the arrow, my character continued moving. On top of all of this, I can't get the actor to move while falling without loosing all momentum because I want the character to move like how it would move with the move attribute and not the accelerate attribute. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't have a PhD in math so if it requires advanced math can you please dummy it down for me?

You have to use accelerate but here's how to make it feel like move:

Rule - When game.GoRight is true
-----Rule - when self.LinearMotionX is < 200 (change this value to whatever)
---------Accelerate (0 to scene at a VERY HIGH rate - 2000 or so)

Rule - When game.GoLeft is true
-----Rule - self.LinearMotionX is > -200
---------Accelerate (180 to scene at a VERY HIGH rate - 2000 or so)

Then play with drag and friction (VERY IMPORTANT!)
