Movement Speed Fix Help

[yetneverdone]

Hello fellow lovers, in my project, I have movement code like:

Code: Select all

player.x = player.x + player.speed * dt

Which works fine in my laptop (xubuntu)

But when I've tried it on another machine, windows desktop, the movement is slow compared to that of my laptop.

Any heads up on what should I consider?

The problem lies in the hardware.

The problem lies in the hardware.

I think it is not ideal to conclude to that, because other parts of the gameplay works smooth, just the movement is not.

Are you reacting on any mousemoved events? In haXe i noticed somethings goes slow when reacting on mouse move on Windows.

Can you post your code so we can see what is causing the issue?

No, im just using the function

Code: Select all

 
function love.keypressed(key) 
love.keyboard.setkeyrepeat(true)
local dt = love.timer.getDelta()
if key == "d" then
player.x = player.x + player.spd + dt
end
end

end
end

One, you should multiply the speed with dt, not add dt to it.

Second, instead of doing this, why not just do:

Code: Select all

function love.update(dt)
    if love.keyboard.isDown('d') then
        player.x = player.x + player.spd * dt
    end
end

?
Also, that keyrepeat thing is unreliable; for example, it doesn't work on my computer because i disabled it. I wouldn't base any timing stuff on it.

Oh. Im sorry. I meant to multiply that, just made a typo. Ive tried that in the update function, but for some reason, instead of the player moving, its teleporting

It shouldn't. Post your project.

Ive tried doing that in the class Player update, in that it causes the teleportation. After trying it on the main love.update, it works.

IDK why is that. Anyways thanks for the help. Ill check later if it fixes the issue with the window machine
