Im creating a game where i have a unit being launched to the right, with friction slowing him down. I want to create a stop variable such that

if "unit stopped" then stop = 1

but i can not find anything that will work to let me know when the unit has stopped moving. I have tried if x=xprevious, but it is always true for some reason.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Check the speed:

if (speed == 0) stop = 1;

When using speed, the coordinates aren't changed before after the step event, so if I'm correct in assuming you're doing the check in step event, x will always be equal to xprevious. If you really want to use that check, do it in end step event instead!
Though, if you use the speed variable, you can simply check for "if speed=0"

Creativebunch, you ninja!

you could do

if x = xprevious and y = previous {
//Do something
}

in the step event

if x = xprevious and y = previous {

No, that's what he said he already tried. It has to go in an event executed after step event, in which case the end step event is a perfect option
