Deceleration problem

[siriso]

I'm trying to make a platform game...I created 2 Alterable Values which are "Grav" & "Horiz" to set the gravity and the horizontal movement of a character and it works well. But it is too stiff the path the character moved. Then I add a value "slowdown" to smoother the path, but it doesn't work for me...
It's hard to explain...I post my file here...

Oh..I should say that the path the character jumped,not the path it moved, is too stiff.

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with the value "Slowdown" - if you want to decelerate the character as it walks, you could do it by always moving the value of Horiz closer to 0 by, say, 0.5 at the bottom of the event list (that is, if it's below 0 add 0.5 and if it's above 0 subtract 0.5).

Similarly, you can play with the jump strength (Set Grav to X in the first event) and acceleration due to gravity (Set Grav to Grav + 0.5 in the second event) to get a path that suits you for jumping.
