Analog stick and 8 directions?

I wanted to make the player walk in all direction based on analog stick position, not only "8 directions" I know that I can do so using custom movement, but I need acceleration and deceleration that only 8 directions has, I'm without ideias T-T

The stick already provides acceleration, and deceleration based on input.

You can simply set position:

Sprite.X+(Gamepad.Axis(0, 0)*yourspeed)*dt

Sprite.Y+(Gamepad.Axis(0, 1)*yourspeed)*dt

You can tweak the speed part if you need to adjust acc/dec. Lerp works nice.

wow it seems to work better than custom movement, but actually I want to use acc/dec to simulate slipping, like walk on ice, can you do that? (sorry I wasn't very specific)

That's a little more complicated: dropbox.com/s/aedegy6p8zaxi07/slipperystick.c3p

Play with the pad variables for the slipping. Same for acceleration.

Speaking of... I'm a little iffy on using gamepad axis=0 for a Bool. It might be an issue if you have a stick with unwanted drift.

Ashley any way we could get something added to to account for when the stick is not in use?

well, it works a bit strange here, the object speeds up a bit when I release the stick, but I think it's gonna work for now, thanks a bunch!
