Slow down acceleration

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Does anyone know how to, when I’m accelerating an object by tilting the phone, then While returning the phone to its original state the ball slowly stops accelerating?

Because right now when I tilt the phone, it accelerates, then when I’m slowly returning the phone’s gravity to 0 again, then ball keeps accelerating until at < 0, I’d just like it to slowly stop accelerate while I’m slowly returning the phones gravity to 0

Thanks in advance :slight_smile: [import]uid: 14018 topic_id: 5547 reply_id: 305547[/import]

vx, vy = playerObject:getLinearVelocity()  
playerObject:setLinearVelocity( 10 \* yGravity, vy )

Put that inside your accelerometer function, and change 10 to affect the acceleration.

Hope that helps :slight_smile:

Thanks once again Ed! But I’m assuming this code only works for the y-coordinate? Is there any way to apply this code to both x and y?

You’re welcome :slight_smile:

The same method should work for the x coordinate as well. Try this out:

vx, vy = playerObject:getLinearVelocity()  
playerObject:setLinearVelocity( 10 \* yGravity, 10 \* xGravity )

Hmm, that made both the x and the y slow. With the other code the y works [import]uid: 14018 topic_id: 5547 reply_id: 18814[/import]

Try changing the 10 in “10 * yGravity” to see if that makes a dfference.
