Velocity attribute change failure

Wessex

Sorry, afraid im stuck on the first hurdle, got the 4 key directions up and running no problem, but for some reason my change attributes for 'UP' and 'LEFT' arrow dont work when i release the arrow key. The actor keeps moving, 'DOWN' and 'RIGHT' work fine and stop moving when i release the key, for the life of me i cant see any difference in the rules.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Can you post a screen shot of the rules so we can see them?

For your Up screen shot, the Change Attribute in the otherwise section should be:

motion.linearVelocity.y instead of motion.linearVelocity.x

Thanks, swapped the left over and it works too, sure i tried that earlier : (

sorry and thanks for your time!

@Wessex, no worries. You have to start somewhere!

The thing to get from this is to keep in mind that the X direction/location is left to right and the Y direction/location is top to bottom.
