I have 3 questions:

Why do you refer to 'obj_hero' from within obj_hero?

Why would you set the hspeed to 0 if hspeed is already 0?

And why do you put a 0 after the 1 when setting friction?

I'm not trying to be mean I sincerely want to know why.

@grungegames First Question answer: It isn't necessary to write Obj_hero.Hspeed, but I did it because it looks better. :) But you would have to refer to the player, if you were writing codes on another objects.

Second Question answer: If I didn't setted the hspeed to 0, would the hspeed continued going down, which means that I would begun to accelrate backwards. Also when the Hspeed reaches 0 after the sliding will the player stop untill you are moving again. Last Question comes at a new comment

@grungegames Third Question answered: If you mean this line; "Friction = 0.10", can I explain it easily. I dont really know why I wrote that. actually It isn't necesarry to type 0 after the 1. It is enough to just type in this "Friction = 0.1".

You know; 0.1 = 0.10 = 0.100 = 0.1000 = 0.100000 etc.

Yo, it's claiming my object doesn't exist...the name is Player, I write it like 'obj_player' in the execute code and when I touch the ice it gives me a error pop-up.

Please help.

@Supertoad25 Well I am pretty sure I can help you out, but first you have to show me all the codes that you typed in that's involving sliding. Then will I most likely find whats wrong ;)

When I saying show the codes, I mean that you are duplicating your codes from game maker into a comment as a reply.

[grungegames]

@rastinder If you're talking about the line between "friction = 0.01" and "if obj_hero.hspeed" then it would be because it looks cleaner and is easier to read. I do it all the time, it separates the blocks of code that don't belong with each other; what belongs is up to you.

@grungegames u havent asked why he skipped 3rd line in coding

thanks, I like this Video and it helps me a lot to create a better game

how did you program your hero's default movement. i mean, how is he going to move when he's not on ice?

[Supertoad25]

@lalabEsjen Well, I discussed this somewhere else...so I don't have it, but I can retype it:

hspeed = -4

friction = 0.10

if obj_Player.hspeed = 0

{

hspeed = 0

}

;Player moves at a speed of 1, also I renamed him 'Hero' to see if that would work, but it didn't.

Also I took the liberty of writing vspeed for up and down.
