movement problem

[DarkParadox]

on key down right i put xvelocity = xvelocity+4; and yet when i press right he moves like a centimeter and stops, whats the problem

Try this code instead:
xvelocity=+4;

and make sure it's set to "repeat" while keydown.

that worked thanks

i use:

Code: Select all

x=x+5;//right and repeat

Code: Select all

x=x-5;//left and repeat

but dsd's code should work but wouldn't keep going after the key is let go of (key up) mine does i know that for sure.
i've also encountered a moving problem, if i use velocities to move on a side scroller or top down, if my player's moving let's say right, and he collides with the top or bottom of a square he just stops
