General / [Solved] Player moves faster to the left :*(

yes since the ElapsedTime was a fraction It was messing up the formula.

Well I figured it out.


I was storing mVelocity.x and .y as integers :*( switched it to float and everything is all good now.

changing mMovement from = 1; to = 2;  seemed to fix it.
I have no idea why.

But now left (-1) and right (2) have the same speeds :*(

I made this change after stripping everything down, and It still wouldn't go right.

and if I make changes to "2000" in the velocity formula it breaks right movement again.

I must of really messed something up somewhere then.
What you are saying makes perfect sense.

just for some reason It won't move right :{

if I remove the + I lose the ability to go right.

hrmm, but then left seems to be the proper speed :{

I'm running into some problems with my fixed time step and calculating negative movement.

When the player pushes the left key mMovement = -1; right key mMovement = 1;

my problem is that when moving left "-1" the player goes faster then if they were going right "1";


main loop

Code: [Select]


float deltaTime = App.GetFrameTime();

mainPlayer.Update(deltaTime);
otherPlayer.Update(deltaTime);



player update

Code: [Select]


// Player pushes Left then mMovement is "-1" right mMovement is "1"

mVelocity.x += mMovement * 2000 * ElapsedTime;
mVelocity.x = clamp(mVelocity.x, -100, 100);

// Apply velocity.
mPosition.x += mVelocity.x * ElapsedTime;

mSprite.SetPosition((int)mPosition.x, 600);



0_o I'm sure it's something very simple, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

when I breakpoint it,  the velocity seems to be clamped at the proper positive or negative number so it's something with

Code: [Select]


mPosition.x += mVelocity.x * ElapsedTime;
