I am trying to get the character to stop sliding around when moving.
I have deceleration up to as high of a number as it will go before going over integer limit, I have stop all movement in its own empty condition, and I can’t make the character stop sliding around.
I just want stable snappy movement.
Oddly, when I press Lshift (run key), it does the exact thing I want it to do, but when walking, it goes back to being extremely slidey

I used remove all forces because another post from over 2 years ago using the same TopDownMovement behavior was solved by adding that. Will remove now.
yes, I have it on autoupdate and it hasn’t gone away with the most recent update yesterday either.
I just checked it and now it seems to be with the Lshift run instead of the walk. I’ve been trying to fix it in between replies, didn’t notice the change happened, but I guess thats a clue
Does this glitch happen often or does it rarely happen? And is there a way to reproduce it?
Sorry for too much questions, I’m trying to figure out if this is a bug in the top-down movement behavior or if there’s something in the current setup that’s causing it and will try to find a way to fix it.
it happens consistently every single time I (with current set up) press Lshift/run, I notice if I lower max speed and max acceleration on Lshift press to 150, the sliding effect disappears.
However, if I raise the max speed and acceleration within the TopDownMovement behavior to anything above 200, the sliding effect worsens again despite not pressing Lshift.
I tried something in a last ditch effort, disabling these, and for some very odd reason it worked. I am very confused and now I need to figure out how to make both the controls work as wasd and not have sliding.
thinking of just writing movement on my own without the behavior active
I think I understand your problem now. Initially, I thought your problem was that the player keeps sliding even after you stop moving because of your description wasn’t very clear in the first post, also what threw me away was that you set a high value for deceleration and you had the stop player action. Sorry about that.
What I understand now is that your problem is the sliding when the player is gaining speed not when stopping, which is not a bug, but because you set a low value for the “acceleration”, so the player slowly gains speed and changes direction, hence the sliding.
Change the values like below and hopefully this fixes your problem:
acceleration: 99999
deceleration: 99999
max speed: 100
shift is pressed → max speed = 200
shift is not pressed → max speed = 100
