Suppose that I make a sprite that is spinning. But if I wanted it to slow down until it stops, how can I do it, so that it slows down smoothly until it stops spinning?

Hello
Take a look to this project. It is for you
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11324460/
I divided the path into 3 parts and for each part I changed the time of gliding. In the beginning it is fast and for the last third part it is slow.
Please, let me know if it helps. You can do it also into 4 different steps.

You can make it turn by a variable called degrees, and ech time it turns change the degrees variable by (-.05) until it is < .001, if you know what I mean.

I made a script here for you in my scripts sandbox at the bottom.

Wait… it slows down, stops, but then starts turning again!

Bump… problem not resolved yet.

If that happens, then change the = 0 in the script to < 0

That did not work. Instead, it started turning the other way, then this way, and that way, then it stopped.

Did you see mine?

Weird… I used that script… but it did not work.

@turkey3 and dracae:
This is my project with the slow down script.

*sighs* I guess it is time for another little BUMP

I believe this is what you need.

I believe that you can fix your specific issue by changing the test from “Spin speed = 0” to “Spin speed < 0”

But it's difficult to test because there are a few other issues with your scripts. I would suggest setting your variables to their starting values in the script that will use them.

(It's also strange that you are rotating the disc by 500 degrees. That's more than one complete spin each time that block gets run. A number like 50 probably makes more sense.

I've remixed it with some fixes.

One of the things I changed was making it so that both the ON and OFF buttons are visible at the same time, but this was more just for testing. You should be able to change it back easily.

Thx!!

How do you get a sprite to slow down if your code looks like this???
