player velocity isn't consistent?

not completely sure how the player controller works but using the player's velocity (as in just Player.velocity) doesn't seem to keep up at higher speeds, after reaching a high enough speed (400 iirc?) it seems to loop back to 0

Can you provide a demonstration? I've never seen this behavior.

not a fantastic example, sorry, but here i've got a node2d that's a sibling to the player object in a scene with just this code:

extends Node
var playerIs

func _ready():
	playerIs = $"../Player"
func _process(delta):
	print(playerIs.velocity.length())

at a default running start it prints a speed of 360, but with a fully charged peelout it's.. 240?
if i go above 400 in any other way it'll print 0 and count up from there as if 400 is 0

i've noticed it both using length (when previously attempting dynamic music) and just the raw vector2 value (when trying to make badnik gibs that spawn with the player's velocity)

oh, it's 480, not 400

To get the game running like sonic I had to do a work around, if you want to mess with sonics movements you need to use the movement variable instead

other than a slight value when pushing against something (which could be accounted for) this works great!
