I'm trying to make a little platformer guy object that can move with minimal acceleration/deceleration (for an old school feel) and to do this I have to set his advanced mover's accel/decel to 100% each. Unfortunately this kills gravity. Is there any way to get the mover to NOT interfere with gravity? I have not given the up/down on his mover any input yet - I'm only telling him to move left and right. I'd really like to have him react to the same gravity as everything else.

Maybe putting a gravity tweaker on the object?

Use two advanced movers. one for horizontal and one for vertical.

This^ plus you could add a timer so the mover only activates for a short time.

I'm having the same problem right now trying to make a little side-scrolling tank. Even basic movers, when you activate them to go left or right, will put their strength toward pushing you in that direction even after heading straight off a cliff. Normal gravity won't take over until you let off the stick, which means a player could potentially drive right over a pit in their way. I should also mention that giving each mover a downward force does help a bit, but unfortunately has the side effect of stopping you if you try to drive up a hill. Checking Local Space fixes this, but then lets them drive over a cliff, down the wall, and under the platform without letting go until you let off the stick. Right now I've got a very rough working model using a splitter and two movers as above, with each mover also pushing downward to simulate gravity, and then a third mover through a not gate, pushing down when the stick is let off so the vehicle will come to stop a fairly quickly. It's really sketchy though. Any better ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Just hook the left, and right analog stick to the mover on/off input also. That will make the mover only activate when you hit left or right.

I think I'm gonna go with high-friction wheels instead. Fastest way to get the "binary" left-right movement, I think, without having to worry about the complications brought about by movers.

The problem is that setting 100% acceleration and 100% deceleration on at least one mover (of any kind) on anything kills its gravity, so the hard, "binary" left-right movement I want kills gravity.

Try putting impact switches to whatever piece of your contraption touches the ground while driving. And set it so if the impact switch is not activated it will trigger a mover that will move it down. So you'll still be able to move left and right but if you are off the ground it will push you to the ground.

So after an hour of microchipping, I've got an object that can move left and right without sliding (tight handling like old-school platformers), double jump and successfully fall back to the ground. It's essentially perfect, BUT I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get both tight handling AND gravity in the air. It's the final step, and a very big one at that. I cannot get strong left/right deceleration and simulated gravity at the same time.

what if you used a mover constantly pushing down?

what if you used a mover constantly pushing down? I think this will be your only way - create an entire new physics systems to work with using movers. The alternative is to use strength-controlled advanced movers for horizontal motion, which will not lock out gravity, but will also probably not give you the style of control you are looking for.

Strength-scale movers will still override gravity while they're on, though. They don't even need to be at 100.

Reopening a dead thread .-. I've got the same problem (Though my control choice is the Dpad),and I'll continue to look for an answer until either I find one or this gets one.Help appreciated
