Directional Actions? (I don't know how to word it)

[Sir Spacebar]

So basically I have this mini-boost feature that activates when your xspeed reaches 7, but it only works when running right.

How do I make it  so it activates at both directions?

Here's a short image of the code (I'm currently a newbie at MMF2, so I don't know how expressions and math works.)

Other question, how do you make it so that the boost follows sonic's angles? Currently it only faces right.

Copy the event.

"If boost speed <-7"

"Subtract 4 from TopXSpeed"

Do this instead: Add another one to the first condition set that says: Direction of ( "Player_MovementValues" )=1

 

Then, in your second condition, change ">=7" to:

 

TopXSpeed( "Player_MovementValues" )+Direction( "Player_MovementValues" )

 

Then, copy and paste it.

 

In the second one, change direction from 1 to Negative 1 (-1).

 

After that, start a new line, and make this:

 

XSpeed <=7
Or (Logical)

XSpeed >=-7

Or (Logical)

XSpeed =0

 

     -Set TopXSpeed to 6

 

For the angle of the boost effect:

 

Always:

 

     -Set Angle of ( "Effects_MiniBoost" ) to Angle ( "PlayerSkin_Sonic" )

 

To get the boost effect to face the same direction as sonic:

 

Direction ( "Player_MovementValues" )=1

 

     -Set Direction of ( "Effects_MiniBoost" ) -->

 

Direction ( "Player_MovementValues" )=-1

     -Set Direction of ( "Effects_MiniBoost" ) <--

 

I usually won't just straight up give people answers, i usually hint them, but you seem a decent level more advanced than the usual beginner, so I went ahead and gave you full detail. What I've told you is the gateway in to doing some really cool and advanced stuff in MMF2, and I think you can handle it. I figured I'd show you it's there and opens many possibilities.
