2D Player Moves Slower Downwards

augustkimo

My character is a KinematicBody2D, and I use a joysticks Vector2 to move. I can't figure out/fix a constant speed. When moving up I move very fast, while moving down I move very slow. Left/Right is somewhere in the middle.

Here is my code and some print outputs:

var velocity = Vector2.ZERO
const ACCELERATION = 1000000000000
const MAX_SPEED = 420

func _process(delta):
     if leftJoyStickPosition != null:
		var input_vector = Vector2.ZERO
		input_vector.x = leftJoyStickPosition.x
		input_vector.y = (leftJoyStickPosition.y) * -1
			
		if input_vector != Vector2.ZERO:
			velocity += input_vector * delta * ACCELERATION
			velocity = velocity.clamped(MAX_SPEED)	
		else:
			velocity = velocity.linear_interpolate(Vector2.ZERO, 0.2)
		
		velocity = move_and_slide(velocity)

Here is leftJoyStickPosition printed:

(0.012194, 0.999926)   #when pulling straight up
(-0.023615, -0.999721)   #when pulling  straight down

Here is velocity printed, right before move_and_slide:

(0, -420) #when pulling straight up
(0, 420) #when pulling straight down

Help is very much appreciated, this is my first game.

Even if I simplify it down to this:

var x : Vector2 = Vector2(0, 10)
velocity = move_and_slide(x * 30)

If I change 10 to -10 (to move up) it's almost twice the speed.

Fixed! Turns out it was working fine the whole time. I have a background that constantly moves downwards and for some reason that affected my players movement. Stopping the moving background fixed the issue.
