Help with motocross game

[FiLLLe1]

Hi!
I'm making a motocross game now. I didn't realise i would be so hard it seems to be and now i need help.

Question 1:
How to make the bike accelerate to a specific speed? I have tried the script "xvelocity+=1;". Now the bike accelerate but it keeps accelerating. What should I do to make it stop at a specific speed?

Question 2:
The map isn't straight everywhere. Do i need specific animations that makes the weels hit the ground all the time? Example:

Or is it possible to make a script so i don't need to fix about 100 new animations?

Sorry if it's many questions but i'm not good at game editor but I really want to learn.

For you first question, you can use an if statement:

Code: Select all

if (xvelocity < 20)
{
    xvelocity += .7;
}//adjust the values for your preference

you might wantr to make a separate variable, however, so that the direction is relative to your speed and also so that you don't change speed in the air - play around with it.

For your second question, you will probably want to make the wheels separate actors. They can have their rotating animation, and the bike can have another. A similar issue was discussed here: http://game-editor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1339
You probably want to add some stuff so that the wheels stay the same distance apart. If you have problems, I may be able to make a demo soon.
