The force variable can be whatever you want it to be. If you want the knockback to be tied to the characters jump strength, then yes.

I'm assuming you use platform behavior?

You check in this condition if the object is on layer "Game User Interface" but the layer is named "Game UI". You probably renamed the layer at some point, this doesn't automatically update.

And where exactly in that project is the variable that doesn't change? What variable is the problem?

Well, that's the way many people learn this. I've also nuked a file here and there until I learned. The best thing you can do is not get too disheartened by it and move on.

Instance vars are always static. Hard to say what's wrong without seeing the project. Perhaps an action overwrites them when you don't expect to?

Do you set "direction: none" somewhere too? Could be that the text changes but instantly gets overwritten.

Try out dops example in an otherwise empty project.

I wild guess since the mirroring works: The stick only sends out a single left/right input and not a continous input.

I would get rid of them just in case.

I'm not superdeep into math stuff so I can't tell if I would need/use it. What is a specific usecase that this plugin solves that isn't in the base engine? Most plugins already have vectors and I can use atan2 (or angle expression in construct) to get the angle of the vector and vice versa.

It sounds like a barebones movement plugin like the build in custom movement behavior.

I had 1070 "browser log" actions in the project. Replaced them all with a function call today. Took me several hours even with a fair bit of hacking.

Posts like these always make me realize how small my projects actually are. Geez man. Perhaps a "disable logging" action in the browser plugin wouldn't be the worst idea or an option on exporting.

But just to confirm, this actually does work and should practically have no overhead. It's probably just bad practice :D
