boost speed button script issue...

[xmediagrafx]

rewrote script, this works (kind of)...only issue is that it works, but doesnt disengage, and also seems to interfere with control of plane?? I am sure this can be cleaned up to work better, ideas?? I am new to scripting, but learning fast, thanks for the help!!

You seem to be setting isBoosted to false in every OnGUI call, which means by the time you query it in the FixedUpdate loop, it is always going to be set to false.

You should move the initialization of the isBoosted variable to your start function and remove it from the OnGUI function.
