Total movement speed

[King_Cool]

Hi
I am currently reworking my Platform Engine beecause i need to include more features, like float point movement speeds and other things.
17 of 26 Alterable Values are now reserved for the Enemy Objects.

I want to add 2 more, 'AdditionalMoveX_' and 'AdditionalMoveY_' ( if i do this i will be using 19 of 26 Alt Values ).
Theese are additional movement speeds ( to 'MoveX_' and 'MoveY_' wich are used to move the enemies when they are pressing 'virtual buttons' ) wich are meant to inherrit a Moving Platforms movement speed when they are standing on one ( so that when Enemies are standing on a Moving Platform and it gets destroyed, Enemies still move in the direction the Platform was moving in )

The imidiate problem i see with this is that i have no way of checking an Enemy Instants totall Movement Speed ( wich is 'MoveX_' + 'AdditionalMoveX_' and 'MoveY_' + 'AdditionalMoveY_' )
I can fix this by adding yet another 2 Alterable Values, 'TotalMoveX_' and 'TotalMoveY_', wich add the X and Y speeds together, although i hope there is a workaround so i dont need to use theese 2 extra Alt Values.

When my Enemy Objects have 2 sets of movement speeds ( 'MoveX_' and 'MoveY_', 'AdditionalMoveX_' and 'AdditionalMoveY_' ), is there a workaround wich lets me check the totall movement speeds of an Enemy Instance witout having to use 2 extra Alt Values ( 'TotalMoveX_' and 'TotalMoveY_' )?

To put it in a simpler way:

If i have many Enemy Instances in my Application, and each Enemy Instance has a 'Speed_' and a 'AdditionalSpeed_' Alt Value, how would i be able to 'compair' to the Total Speed of an Enemy Instance without using FastLoops or ForEch Loops?

If you wanted to say TotalSpeed > x for instance, you could just say

If 'Speed'_ > x - 'AdditionalSpeed_'

Gkinfinity, this doesnt seem to work. It oly works if there is only 1 Enemy.

Because when you reffer to the 'AdditionalSpeed_' ( in MMF2 as in your equation above ) it is refering to the 'Objects AdditionalSpeed_' and not the specific Instances.
