Negative Acceleration?

[NemesisChiken]

Anyone got a clue what a negative acceleration might imply? Here is an example from the Allied Engineer:


GameData["moving_ext"]["acceleration"] = -1

[DatonKallandor]

Either deccelartion or moving backwards.

Decceleration implies slowing down. He'd be moving backwards if decellerating past 0 units of velocity(I'm not sure what its measured in. Really wish this game had better commentary in the RGDs)

All infantry have -1 acceleration, cause they dont really accelerate like vehicles.
Infantry start moving right away, and vehicles need time to reach their top speed.

[Corsix]

In this case I think -1 accel = no accel (it's a programmer thing).

[2ltben]

Would this mean it would be possible to have soldiers work up to their maximum speed? For a sprint, someone putting their entire weight behind their body would have an acceleration of 10(if metric, or rather 9.81) or 32(if imperial). For a jog it'd be maybe half of that.

I'm not sure how this might work, but I'm going to give it a try...

But I think the acceleration can be applied to infantries.

[NemesisChiken]

All infantry have -1 acceleration, cause they dont really accelerate like vehicles.
Infantry start moving right away, and vehicles need time to reach their top speed.Actually all the infantry DON'T have -1 acceleration from my research. The Allied Sniper, Ranges, and Airbone Infantry appear to have values other than -1. Doesn't mean the game is using them thou.

I can't see any difference with any of the speed values (except rotation) for infantry if I change them, don't think it's used.
