Hello,
I’d like to make a topdown space game with a movement system that feels similar to that of the classic arcade game asteroids.
I’d like W to add a forwards thrust to the player, A,S for ship rotation and unlike asteroids I’d like the S key to apply a braking force to reduce the movement of the player.
Any help would be vastly appreciate, I’m new to unreal and having trouble finding the answers that I need.
Thanks.
hi,
here is a little example
variables:
Throttle - is simple for the movement, so when you release your button the ship will travel on
VelocityGrip - is the range how the ship reacts to a new vector input (when rotate and boost)
all others should be self explanatory
and here is the result
hope this helps your on your way 
cheers 
p.s. what i forgot to mention, the ship is a pawn but it can be a character too if you need a skeletal mesh… this is just a squashed cone 
Thank you for taking the time to help me here, very much appreciate it!
Looking forward to setting this up.
hi,
no problem, if you need any information about the logic, feel free to message me (atm it can take a bit till i can write back, lunch time is over )
cheers
