  You could set a private variable to '1' the same time that the Sine behavior is activated... can't you?

  Are slopes necessary? They could bring issues in the math for movement.

  aybe they could be turned off?

  If anyone needs a free IRC client, the Silverex X-Chat Windows builds are pretty darn good.

  what do you mean?

  It's too bad that one can't a make a "Release" event for a dynamic "Control"... instead of "On Key Released", it'd be nice if one could set a "On Control Released".

  cool thing about construct is,

  often times, you can translate your thoughts pretty directly to events:

  since there is no On Control Released condition (there might be one in the Custom Controls plugin, I don't remember), I'll be using 'left mouse button' instead of "fire" in this example:

  we are going to assume that 'power' starts at 175 when you start holding the button:

  altogether:

  Wow, thanks a lot!

  It's too bad that one can't release an Application-controlled Control... oh well.

  I'll check out that "Custom Controls" plugin.

  Hello. In the game I'm working on (with someone from TIGSource), I'm wanting a character to be able to charge up a projectile, then shoot it at the increased speed.

  As of now, the projectile (Arrow) has a private variable called 'Power'. I want, while the "Fire" control is held down and 'Power' is below 700, to increase the Power in increments of 175 every 200 milliseconds. Once the "Fire" control is released, the projectile is shot at the speed of 'Power' pixels per second.

  Can anyone help? :<
