moving object acceleration

[KiraHaraReturns]

I want to make an object fall down with proper physics. My approach was to put the object-move function into a while loop and alter the speed. Something like this:
while(speed < someValue){
object.Move(x,y,speed,...)
speed = incremented speed
}
but the object is still moving with the initial speed anyway, any ideas what went wrong?

On initial look is it set to blocking? If so then the moving is being blocked and waiting to complete before it moves on then when it comes back through the loop it is moving to the same place so basically not moving at all. be sure you have it set to "eNoBlock" on the correct parameter.

thanks, eNoBlock works as I've expected

I wouldn't use Move() at all but rather directly change the object's coordinates.

Code: ags

float x, y, mx, my;

  // repeatedly_execute
  my += 0.2; // gravity;
  // hit floor?
  if (y >= 200.0) {
    y = 200.0; my = 0.0
  }
  x += mx;
  y += my;
  object.X = FloatToInt(x, eRoundNearest);
  object.Y = FloatToInt(y, eRoundNearest);

This will result in very smooth movement.
