X movement affects acceleration (Y).

Hi. I want to make it to where my player character (the white box) falls at a constant rate. It's fine when it jumps and the user presses left or right until the character reaches the ground, but when the user presses either left, right, or left and right repeatedly and before the character reaches the ground, the acceleration stops for a second.
Here's my stuff:
gravity on/off
when all conditions are valid
attribute: self.gravity is true
accelerate, dir: 270, acceleration: 2000, relative to scene
otherwise
accelerate, dir: 270, acceleration: 0, relative to scene
xtragravity on/off
when all conditions are valid
attribute: self.xtragravity is true
accelerate, dir: 270, acceleration: 600, relative to scene
otherwise
accelerate, dir: 270, acceleration: 0, relative to scene
xtragravity l
when all conditions are valid
attribute: self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X < -1
attribute: self.Motion.Linear Velocity.Y < 0
attribute: self.floorcollide is false
change attribute: self.xtragravity to true
change attribute: self.noholdairL to true
otherwise
when all conditions are valid
attribute: self.noholdairL is false
change attribute: self.xtragravity to false
xtragravity l2
when all conditions are valid
attribute: self.noholdairL is true
change attribute: self.xtragravity to true
otherwise

attribute: self.noholdairL is false
change attribute: self.xtragravity to false
xtragravity r
when all conditions are valid
attribute: self.Motion.Linear Velocity.X > 1
attribute: self.Motion.Linear Velocity.Y < 0
attribute: self.floorcollide is false
change attribute: self.xtragravity to true
change attribute: self.noholdairR to true
otherwise

attribute: self.noholdairR is false
change attribute: self.xtragravity to false
xtragravity r2
when all conditions are valid
attribute: self.noholdairR is true
change attribute self.xtragravity to true
otherwise
when all conditions are valid
attribute: self.noholdairR is false
change attribute: self.xtragravity to false
noholdair
when all conditions are valid
actor receives event: overlaps or collides with actor of type: floor
change attribute: self.noholdairL to false
change attribute: self.noholdairR to false
floor collision
bounce when colliding with actor of type: floor
jmp
when all conditions are valid
actor receives event: key: k is down

attribute: self.floorcollide is true
timer: for 1E-05 seconds (run to completion)
constrain attribute: self.Motion.Linear Velocity.Y to 680
change attribute: self.jumpyes to true
otherwise
timer: after 0.13 seconds (run to completion)
when all conditions are valid
actor receives event: key: k is up
attribute: self.Motion.Linear Velocity.Y > 0

change attribute: self.jumpyes to false

change attribute: self.jumpyes to false

timer: after 0.001 seconds (run to completion)
change attribute: self.jumpyes to false

actor receives event: key: k is up
change attribute: self.kup to true

l
when all conditions are valid
actor receives event: key: a is down
change velocity, dir: 180, speed: 200, relative to actor
otherwise
when all conditions are valid
actor receives event: key: d is up
change velocity, dir: 0, speed: 0, relative to actor
r
when all conditions are valid

Better organized version below, sorry for any inconvenience.

It's awesome that you posted all of the rules... although a lot of work to type that all in! You might consider posting a link to download the project file (stripped of anything secretive/valuable) because I suspect you're going to limit the number of people willing to read through a wall of text.

Nevermind, fixed it. Used change attribute: self.motion.linear velocity.x for x movement instead of change velocity.
