Well I'm not going to bore you with the details of thegame but basically I need help to form a movement fnction that will if the key is pressed move the characer up a specfed amount, say 30 pxl, which I can do but what I can't do is make it move slowly and if the key is released after 10 pixels it will carry on moving until it has completed a full mvement. The same as the mvement found in most old RPGs and the pokemon games

Thanks in advance and sorry if there is any spelling errors as using my iPod atm

not quite sure what you are after, do you mean that you want to be able to press the key and the character moves smoothly left or right for a certain distance?

I had this in mind as a kind of solution (needs a little playing around with tho

)

+ Code Snippet

set display mode desktop width(), desktop height(), 32

autocam off

position camera 0,0,0,-100
point camera 0,0,0,0

make object sphere 1,1

sync on: sync rate 60

movement=30
speed=1

do

if leftkey()=1 then xtarg#=object position x(1)-movement
if rightkey()=1 then xtarg#=object position x(1)+movement

if object position x(1) > xtarg# then xpos#=object position x(1)-speed
if object position x(1) < xtarg# then xpos#=object position x(1)+speed

position object 1, xpos#, object position y(1), object position z(1)

sync
loop

This is not the Sig you are looking for....
