Smashing into loop limit[SOLVED]

[PolyMad]

I am following what I think is a simple and straightforward procedure to impress acceleration to a wheel.

I check if a key is down.
If it is, I move to another state, where a float is keeping updated by adding 10 force each second.
At the end of this state I have a float compare.
If the acceleration variable goes over 50, I go to another state to set it back to 49.

Of course, 1000 cycles run off in a moment and also raising the limit does not solve the problem.

How do you behave in this condition???

[greg]

Store KeyDown as boolean
convert bool to float : 10 or 0 (add amount)
add "add amount" every frame
clamp "acceleration" between 0 - 50
multiply acceleration by 0.9 (deceleration) every frame


Might not help you, but this is how i handle acceleration within a single state.

Thank you, Greg, that's great!
What I was missing was the CLAMP command, I'm old style and using IF/THEN all the time eheh
