Help & Support

i would like to make a nitro to my racing game
here’s what my racing game looks like so far


it will work with a bar that when it’s full you can hold spacebar to get a burst of speed and the bar will go down until it hits 0 then it doesnt work anymore, i think you know how nitro works, does anybody know how to do this

the particle system i can do myself i just dont know how to do the emptying bar that fills up over time and the speed boost, basically the scripting part of the NITRO

Hello @Deadshot1m24,

To create boost refill system, you need to consider few things.

  • You need bind Shift key or any other key though code.
  • Also need to add timer which will reduce boost amount.
  • Then you need to add check if Shift is pressed or not, accordingly you need to increase/decrease the timer.
  • According to this timer you can set the boost value.
  • And according to this boost value you can set UI bar.

If you find above things difficult.

Please check this project

Check vehicle.js file it contains speed control.
By pressing Shift you can boost the speed.

I did not added timer and UI to show the boost.
