I'm having trouble with the 'Change Maximum Speed' option in Construct 2 for the Platform behavior. When it's being changed, my player has very limited movement, if at all. When the action is disabled, it moves fine. Can anyone help me out? Here is a capx file of the project.https://www.dropbox.com/s/f7b4sjck9qga414/fightprototype.capx?dl=0

I assume this is happening when using gamepad? As far as I remember, Gamepad.Axis expression returns a number from -1 to 1. So your maximum speed changes from negative 3 to 3. You need to multiply by at least 100 and use abs() expression.

Also, I recommend using Browser Log to debug problems like this. If you'd tried adding "Browser Log GamePad.Axis(0,0)" into this event, you would immediately understand what's going on.

It happens for both Gamepad and Keyboard.

...but the abs() seems to work it out. Thanks a bunch!
