[SOLVED] Slowing down 1 pixel at a time movement w/o fractions

[Bentley]

I was working with Lemmings and trying to get the movement right. If you let the step event run with x++, they move too fast.

I usually do something like this:

// o_control begin step event
global.frame++;

// o_lemming step event
if (global.frame mod 3 == 0)
{
    x++;     
}

I was wondering how others go about this. I didn't want to lower the FPS because that messes up other things that I want to run at 60 FPS. I didn't want to move at fractions, although I suppose I could. Anyway, just curious. Thanks for reading.

Like so:

// Create
acc = 0;

// Step:
acc += 1/3;
var amt = floor(acc);
if (amt > 0) {
    x += amt; // or more complex logic
    acc -= amt;
}

Haha, that's a nice way to go about. Very helpful, thanks for the reply.
