Delta based multiplication
Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Delta based multiplication

| Ok, I can't think of how to word this properly but here goes... I have a delta float which determines how quickly the simulation moves. Usually it's set to 1.0, but sometimes I have it at 0.5 and 0.2. [monkeycode]XS += XRate * delta[/monkeycode] This is fine when adding to a value, but I would like to use it when multiplying a value (see the Else - End section), like so... [monkeycode]If Input.LeftDown XS -= XRate * delta ElseIf Input.RightDown XS += XRate * delta Else ' Slowly decel the player XS *= 0.99 * delta End[/monkeycode] Now obviously that line of code is wrong but I want to decrease XS using multiplication consistently regardless of delta. I hope that makes some sense, can anyone help? I can't get my head round it! |

| Haha... err. Well I figured it out, quite soon after posting (even though it's been bothering me for a few days!) [monkeycode]XS *= (1.0 - (0.01 * delta))[/monkeycode] |

| Hey Chris, thanks for that. Actually I never though of this I always did the "dampening" independently from the time period but your solution looks better! |
