Acceleration and deceleration, seem to cling to walls and slopes !work

So I can't seem to be able to make acceleration and deceleration work. Can someone provide me the code for the almost whole left key press event? Just for flat ground.

if hspeed<(insert max speed)
hspeed-=0.1(set higher for faster accelerating)

You could look at the Trisoft engine on the main site for help with this. The engine is fairly basic, so it probably wouldn't be hard to find the code that corresponds to this.

(This is assuming you use Game Maker.)

I've heard of it, but never seen it. Where in the main site?

And latia, I knew that much, but how do you decelerate?

Edit: found the trisoft engine.

Make all negatives positive, and vice-versa.

You said left key code, that´s it.<_<
For deceleration:

if !keyboard_check(vk_left) and hspeed<0
hspeed+=0.1

@Pip:You forgot the condidtion.:P

btw Main Site

Olay, the Trisoft engine has me confused. O.o

I'm just trying to have mario slow down when I release the key. What I have for acceleration is

hspeed -= 0.2
if hspeed < minspeed
{hspeed = minspeed}
minspeed = -3

Now how do I make him slow down when I release the key?

Latia, you have me confused.

You´re supposed to put that in the step event.

Wait, so I put that in the step event...? I'll try, give me a minute.

Thank you Latia! It worked!

Now could you help me use the same code for slopes? X_X

Sure. Try this on collision with the slope(originating from Mario´s object):

y=other.y-1

To not confuse you, originating from Mario´s object means you have to put the collision event in MArio´s object.

I knew of the origin thing. I'll try that with the slopes.

It's not working.
