Player keeps moving if key release

[pete796]

Hi,

When the cursor keys are pressed the player moves in the correct direction, however, it keeps moving even if the key is released.

Can anyone help?

 

createPlayer: function() { 
    this.player = new ZPlat.Player(this, 100, 100);  
    this.dude = this.add.group();  
    this.dude.add(this.player);
  },


  update: function() {  
    if(this.cursors.left.isDown) {
      this.player.body.velocity.x = -this.RUNNING_SPEED;
      this.player.scale.setTo(1, 1);
      this.player.play('walking');
    }
  
    else if(this.cursors.right.isDown) {
      this.player.body.velocity.x =this.RUNNING_SPEED;
      this.player.scale.setTo(-1, 1);
      this.player.play('walking');
    }
  
    else {
      this.player.frame = 2;
      this.player.animations.stop();
    }

     if(this.cursors.up.isDown) {
      this.player.body.velocity.y = -this.JUMPING_SPEED;
    }
  
    if(this.player.body.y > this.game.world.height) {
        this.gameOver();
    }
  },

In update method, in the first line, you have to set

this.player.body.velocity.x = 0

Just @ionprodan. Look at your code, when a key is pressed you are setting the velocity but when you release don't anything. Nothing Magic happens, just it need to set again the velocity.
