Title: Movement with accelerate and decelerate
Post by: Rabagast on August 19, 2014, 12:46:07 AM

Hi!

I have a simple horizontal movement. (See the picture)
I want to have an acceleration and decelerate on the movement. Like Mario
Is it possible to do this with this kind of movement? Or do I need to change the movement also?

I'm a little bit stuck with this. Is it possible to get some help, please? :)

Hi!

One way to do it is to set input gravity and sensitivity in Input Manager for Horizontal axis. Try low numbers like 3 or something, input should have a little delay so movement would slowdown and accelerate.

Hi!

That was a very easy way to do it. Thank you! :)

But, is it possible to change these with some Playmaker Actions?
For example change the gravity horizontal?

I dont know about custom action for Input Manager, still a topic ahead to research :)

About the movement, if setting gravity in Input manager not quite what you after,
could try to Interpolate the Speed variable you have.
When Horizontal is pressed Speed goes from 0 to x Speed in x seconds, if axis released Get current speed and interpolate to 0.

Hope others can suggest you about how to change input stuff at runtime.
