Changing player speed when using 360 controller?

Hi,

I'm using a 360 pad to control my payer's 8direction movement this way:

When player press 'A' I want to increase the speed of the object for a certain time, but I cannot find the way to do this.

Could anybody help me?

Thanks!

Set speed up, start timer, when timer finnished set speed back to default.

Thanks, deathangel1479, but I cannot made it work. When I press 'A' button player slowns down it's speed to almost 0

Must have to do with 8D.Vector.

For me with 8D direct it works.

Hmm...

May be you need to aduste speed, too.

You have low values in 8D.Vector, true? 8D.Vector is pixels per second.

Play a bit around with...

If you have the result pls post, will need it later, too.

from my experience, your speed is way too low for 8D. try setting up speed max to 3000 to test.

I don't think it's a low speed value problem. It works OK when I play with the keyboard.

It must be something about direction vector values, as deathangel1479 said.

I kind of solved it creating a global variable "vel" that multiplies vector X and Y components and changing it's value using timer instead of changing 8direction speed.
