How do I make my charater do an Air Dash

Like in Mega Man X. You press a button while in mid air and your character launches forward.

This is what I have so far, but no matter what I set the X vector to, my character just barely nudges forward. I cranked it all the way up to 5000 and he still barely nudges forward. The Airdash variable resets to 0 when you touch the ground. Everything is working fine except for not getting enough forward speed.

I have a similar function for my mid-air attack and it works fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here I have an example:

Basically, you are forgetting to increase the player Max Speed, so no matter how big is the number you type on vector x, the player wont move faster then his normal speed.

Thanks for the help. Can't believe I missed something so obvious. Works great now.
