I want to add force and clamp the (x, y) force in the 2D physics engine.
Add force and limit the (x, y) force coordinates to a maximum movement speed.
My player fades off screen once I press any of the arrows.

I’m assuming you want to do this in events, not javascript. Have you tried clamping the X and Y linear velocities?
If you want the object to slow down, increase friction or linear dampening in the object’s behaviour settings.
Your player has the physics2 behavior but the JavaScript is applying basic force.
You need to get the behavior and use its force method. It’s something like this.
Edit: I think I had that backwards. Fixed. I think.
applyForce(forceX: number, forceY: number, positionX: number, positionY: number): void
const player = objects[0];
/** @type {gdjs.Physics2RuntimeBehavior} */
const physicsBehavior = player.getBehavior("Physics2");
physicsBehavior.applyForce(10,10, player.getX(),player.getY())
As I stated in my other post. I’m a bit weak when it comes to JavaScript. Even weaker when using JavaScript with behaviors. You’ll need to make sure all of your code used the correct method.

@Keith_1357 Using these methods you found now the force works. My car is just not moving as I want, but I’ll see what I can do to make it work…
I have made the force work like I want now, combining a bit of linear damping as recommended by @MrMen
Now, just needing the 360 degrees drift to rotate the car a bit more nicely, but it’s pratically in place now.
