Move Speed

Reads the player's movement speed, and sets a new one when a pulse arrives. Use it for sprint, mud or slow motion.

Output: number (the movement speed in force right now)

Inputs

Handle	Type	Meaning
set	event	on each pulse, write value as the new movement speed
value	number	the speed to write; overrides the card slider when wired

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Options
value	0.1	0.01 – 1: distance per frame (0.1 is about 6 m/s at 60 fps)

Which speed is in force

One speed moves the player, and every Move Speed node reads that same number:

1. the last speed written, by a Move Speed's set pulse or by the scroll wheel in Play;
2. otherwise the Character Controller's speed;
3. otherwise this card's value.

A written speed stays until something writes again. Nothing on the card has to stay wired. Changing the Character Controller's speed, or deleting the controller, clears the written speed. Written speeds are kept between 0.001 and 100.

The units are the Character Controller's: distance per frame, the number the scroll wheel has always changed. Each scroll notch multiplies the speed by a fixed step, so the readout follows the wheel.

Multiplayer

The set pulse is shared, so a set changes the speed for every player, each on their own machine. The scroll wheel is local: it changes only your own speed, and only your own Move Speed readouts show it.

Practical example

Hold Shift to sprint:

1. Add a Character Controller and set mode to walk.
2. Add a Key Press (capture Shift, edge down) and a Move Speed with value 0.25. Wire the Key Press into Move Speed's set.
3. Add a second Key Press (capture Shift, edge up) and a second Move Speed with value 0.1. Wire them the same way.
4. Press Play: holding Shift walks fast, and letting go walks at the normal speed.

Tip

A Key Press fires for anyone's key, so in a multiplayer game this sprint is shared: one player's Shift speeds everybody up. For a per-player sprint, use the controller's Player code, which reads each player's own keys.
