Help with Spindash

HashtagBenches

So I'm trying to make Sonic's spindash. The way I want it to work is: the longer you hold the button (down arrow) the further he'll go. I need help with making him do that. From what I understand, it should be: detecting whether the key is held down, while it's held down add numbers to a variable(s) (Spindash) until the key is let go, then release him, moving however many steps, and then clearing the variable(s).

You can do it like this:

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> then
    
change [x moving v] by (0.2)
end
if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> then
    
change [x moving v] by (-0.2)
end

end

when green flag clicked
forever
set [x moving v] to [((x moving) * (0.9)) ]
change x by (x moving)
end

Something went wrong above.

when green flag clicked
forever
set [x moving v] to ((x moving) * (0.9))
change x by (x moving)
end

By the way, there is no limit on its speed. If you want to set maximum speed, you should set a limitation.

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <(x moving) > [5]> then
    
set [x moving v] to [5]
end

end

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [space] pressed?> then
point in direction (pick random (-180) to (180))
end

end

Thanks! Not entirely what I was looking for, but I think I could tweak it a little to work how I intended.

None of these work for me. can you guys try and make some different scripts.

I already scrapped the idea of giving Japan the ability to do that move.

im not saying they don't work its just that i have arrow key movements and the spindash isn't staying still so it still works its just that the spindash moves when i press arrow keys. let me give you a link to my game https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/962105532/
