rigidbody2D with instant max speed and slow stop
I've been trying to achieve this for longer than I care to admit...
Here is my current code:
public float maxSpeed = 10f;
private Vector2 movement;
void Update ()
{
float x_move = LeftJoystick.position.x;
float y_move = LeftJoystick.position.y;
movement = new Vector2 (x_move * maxSpeed, y_move * maxSpeed);
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
rigidbody2D.velocity = movement;
}
Using "rigidbody2D.AddForce(movement)" creates an ice skating effect...
I want the character to be able to hit instant top speed and then when I let off the joystick have him slow to a stop. But also be able to instantly change direction when the joystick is pressed again.
Please help!

As always... you figure it out five minutes after asking the question...
My problem was that I was constantly updating the velocity with the joystick's movement; therefore my character was moving based entirely off of that... not the velocity.
Here's the updated code:
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (LeftJoystick.isFingerDown) { // I'm using the C# Joystick class
rigidbody2D.velocity = movement;
}
}
And then use linear drag to adjust the deceleration speed.
