Accelaration & des accelaration system

[Wrda]

I know this is possible, because I've already seen it, but I don't really have a real idea how to do it, can anyone do it for me?
I would be very grateful.
And no, I'm NOT talking about this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/movespeedx-gui-v1-1-0-0-a-207607/?prev=search%3DSpeed%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20%26t%3D65
Imagine a car.

Something like this maybe: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/requests-341/need-help-my-map-247520/#post2478618

Erm, I didn't explain myself clearly.
It's something like that you said.

Imagine a car.

I didn't mean it must be car, i meant that a car accelarates and des accelarates, it was just for you to have an idea. It could be a creep, a patrol (like a maze) or anything, it doesn't need to be moving.
E.g: A footman stands on "region 000" and starts sliding increasing speed progressively to "region 001". At half of the way the speed starts to decrease progressively. When the footman reaches to "region 001", the does the same thing all the way back.

Each periodic event you set Speed[unitIndex] = Speed[unitIndex] + Accel[unitIndex].

At start Accel for each unit could be 0, so it doesn't change anything.
When unit enters RegionA --> Accel[unitIndex] = 0.005. (or something like this, idk^^)
When unit enters RegionB --> Accel[unitIndex] = -0.005

But attention, that way the speed might get faster/slower then you want, so a limit would be needed. (condition in periodic event):

If (Speed[unitIndex] + Accel[unitIndex] > MIN_SPEED) && (Speed[unitIndex] + Accel[unitIndex]) < MAX_SPEED Then
Set Speed[unitIndex] = Speed[unitIndex] + Accel[unitIndex]

I've tried that before, but it never goes smoothly xD
I'll try a 2nd time

Hm, you change it each ~0.03 seconds... think it should be smooth enough. But I think you should use custom script for set new acceleration, because 0.01 (min for GUI) is maybe too much.

I did something similar for an aura in the Zephyr contest: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/2551866-post120.html

If you strip away most of the aura stuff, this will let you accelerate/decelerate units the way I think you're asking for.

If you're looking for something that allows cars to drift around corners, I've got a testmap for that lying around somewhere if you need it.

Thanks for your help, but it's not really what I'm looking for.

I'll attach a test map for you I made to understand what I mean. (ignore leaks etc)

Here, for some reason now that I tried another way it seems that it increases speed smoothly.
