[SOLVED]Track and Field arcade. Moving by tapping buttons

[Splankton]

Hi,
How can I move an object, so the faster I tap buttons, the faster the object will move? Kind of like the old track and field arcade game.

I can set the velocity x=1 every time a key is down, then on key up, set no movement. It works fine, but how do I increase the velocity with more rapid key presses?
Thanks

Ok, For anyone who might be interested in doing something similar, I've done this by making a float which adds a value every time a button is pressed, which decreases back to 0 as soon as its added.  Then use that float to set the velocity.

Hi.
i don't know if you set it up this way but i would use a float add and set per second.

and add for example -1 per second.
and a float clamp (set to 0 and set to a max speed)
on the same state have Set velocity and also a float compare to check if 0 or

on button fsm use 'Fsm Float Add' ([urlhttps://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181]Ecosystem[/url])on each click



The add value you could also manipulate from another fsm so that it would gradually deduct faster if a longer period no button was pressed

Yes I have it kind of the same, except the float clamp which would be useful. Thanks
