Can you please post a screenshot of the movement and key press code so we can see what you're doing and what might be wrong?

how do i do that

KevinCross

Take a screenshot and upload to a service like Dropbox or any cloud storage service you use and then in your post add some HTML code to show the image which looks like this:

<!img src="http://yourimageurl">

Don't include the exclamation mark when you do it though because otherwise it will show as text

Cool, hopefully someone will see the problem you're experiencing quite quickly by looking at the screenshots you provide.

If you are moving your actor with a Change Behavior for its Velocity, you may want to try a Constrain Behavior instead. The Change Behavior can slow down over a long period of time. Also instead of the Constrain Behavior you might try reducing or making the Friction and Drag setting on each actor 0 so there is no friction to slow movement down.

Just a couple thoughts....
