Actor vibrating after movement

Hi there,

I am trying to achieve the following :

If self.X is < than Device.position.X , move right.
If self.X is > than Device.position.X, move left.

I manage to get my actor to move, but it vibrates after stopping.

I've tried Self.X = Device.position.X, move left at speed 0 (to force it to stop), but it didn't work.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

    That is the perfect recipe to make something 'vibrate'. The chances that an actor will be exactly at 'Device.position.X' is very small. It will almost always either be more or less than that. (Even by .001 pixel.)

    Try making a 'dead zone' where you can set speed to zero. Something like:
    If self.X is < than (Device.position.X - 5) , move right.
    If self.X is > than (Device.position.X + 5), move left.
