Forums » Help » Instant maximum velocity?

I'm not interested in accelerating my character over time, I wan't him to run at maximum speed, instantly. Similarly, I'd like the player to stop instantly, not decelarate. I've fiddled with not calling this.parent() in my overridden update function, but so far, without luck.

Any suggestions?

Setting .vel.x/y directly instead of .accel.x/y will set the speed immediately. Take care to set .maxVel.x/y to a high enough value.

Thanks, man. That did the trick. Awesome.
