Character rotating

I got a super duper cube here, he moves using SERVO motion, and uses Rot: in the Simple Control box.
I move forwards, rotate, let go and he delays a bit before going straight, relative to the direction the Cube is facing.
And if I keep rotating while moving forwards, he acts like a car doing a burnout. It’s so gross, please help.

Here is the .blend to help you better understand the situation here:

Increase the friction either in the physics tab or on the material?

Fixed.

Servo motion simulates linear velocity on the three axis (axies?) separately.

This means you can disable a certain axis so as long as the actuator is active, the other axis are active. An example: disable z axis and as you move you ‘fly’ if you go off the edge (until you release the up key).

In the fixed blend I disabled the sideways y axis, which means only the forward (x) motion is considered. (I also disabled the z axis as this was not being used).

I have also added a second servo motion set to an inverted kepress. So if you are not pressing up the servo sets a speed goal of 0 (so instant stopping). I guess you could play with the value to make this less abrupt.

Hope it helps!

As always, any questions, fire away.

EDIT:

Try these settings on the second servo actuator, it gives a nice stopping action:


Remember, the max and min values are used to get to the target velocity value: so by setting -10 you tell the actuator to go from the first actuators speed (e.g. say 10) to zero by applying a maximum ‘reverse’ value of -10).

Thanks Rubbernuke and Cam.dudes, the player is not gross anymore.
