Simple question about 8Dir Movement--

Hello all, this shouldn't be hard for some of the CC vets around here:

When using the 8direction movement behavior, there doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of the deceleration, ie, the sprite slowing down before completely stopping. I've tried fiddling around with several settings, but to no avail.

Is there a way to make movement so that if no movement control is down, the momentum is 0, so to speak?

You know, something like in say, R-Type or any other shmup, in which moving the ship makes it move, but letting go of the control brings it to a stand-still?

Thanks in advance.

You could try setting 'Deceleration' to 3000 plus (or whatever suits)

It seems to stop instantly.

I think easiest would be bump up the deceleration. You can try, if default values for 8dir movement are

Max Speed - 200

Acceleration - 600

and Deceleration - 500, than just make it 2000, 5000 or what you'll feel is right.
