[SOLVED] Problem with skid

[molcap]

Hi everybody!

I'm trying to do a skid system for my game, but it works fine until you press left and right at the same time and I don't know why, when I do that the sprite changes to idle with 0 of image speed and if I press left and change to right too fast he doesn't skid. Also I want to implement a system to run using double tap.

Here's the code:

if (Key_Left)
        {
            if sign(hsp) <= 0 and not !(Key_Right)
            {
                hsp = -2.2*run_speed;
                if (grounded)
                {
                    flip = -1;
                    sprite_index = run
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if hsp > traction
                {
                    hsp -= traction;
                    sprite_index = skid
                }
                else
                hsp = 0
            }
        }
        
        
        if (Key_Right)
        {
            if sign(hsp) >= 0 and !(Key_Left)
            {
                hsp = 2.2*run_speed;
                if (grounded)
                {
                    flip = 1;
                    sprite_index = run
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if hsp < traction
                {
                    hsp += traction;
                    sprite_index = skid
                }
                else
                hsp = 0
            }
        }
        
        //Neutral input = 0 movement
        if ((Key_Right && Key_Left) or (!Key_Right && !Key_Left))
        {
            if hsp > traction and sign(hsp) = 1
            {
                hsp -= traction;
                sprite_index = skid
            }
            else if hsp < traction and sign(hsp) = -1
            {
                hsp += traction;
                sprite_index = skid
            }
            else
            {
                hsp = 0
            }
            if fallspecial = false and hsp = 0
            {
                sprite_index = idle
            }
        }

Thanks

So every step in the game the neutral condition is being filled? By this I mean your if condition comes true when your not pressing both the right and left at all
or (!Key_Right && !Key_Left) so its active all the time? Or is the mechanics different?

On another one I think I read somewhere else on the forums that multiple key statements need to be checked first before single ones because you are already fulling the above if condition and it will do that one before even checking the one below. as the code goes through line by line and does what it finds first.

Condition comes true when you're pressing left and right or when neither is pressed

What do you mean? should I check neutral imput before checking movement?

It worked! Thank you

Sweet just needed to check the wording on your neutral condition. But yes Neutral condition first as it is a multiple key event and these should be checked first. If you do the right key before this, that condition will come true so it will not check the others as it starts at the top and finds the first condition that comes trues then applies that. As far as I know this it the way the coding works.
