Changing runspeed via script

[aL BeasTie]

I made a basic didhitscript for a powerup item that will add +1 to the players speed. Default speed is 5 default run speed is 10

void main()
{
  void self = getlocalvar("self");
  void target = getlocalvar("damagetaker");
  int spd = getentityproperty(target, "speed");
  int rspd = getentityproperty(target, "running", 0);
  
  changeentityproperty(target, "speed", spd+0.1);
  changeentityproperty(target, "running", +2);
}

I think I have the walking sorted but I'm not sure exactly how to control running effectively. It is working but it adds too much speed. I recall using speed from script is more like speedf so we can use decimals, not sure if running does thou. I also tried using run.speed.x which still worked fine but I wasn't sure how to get run.speed.x value using script. Also I started adding so it has a maxspeed cap so you can't raise it too high but again I had problems storing the 'running' values.

Have you tried adding small value to running speed such as 0.5 instead of 2?

Yeah it seemed to be still increasing just the same. It might be working, it's hard to test the effect with lower settings but I can easily see the change in game with higher ones. Just trying to get the sweet spot now.

I added a settextobject to the players onspawnscript to display the values of speed and running in game

Here's what it shows
model settings speed 6 = in game value 0.6000000
model settings running 10 = 3.000000

Then I tried to display them again after pickup but just get 'VT_Empty ' and I've totally forgotten how to initialize the values to prevent that.

Edit: What I really don't understand is adding +2 to running is definitely working, in game the speed up is obvious. But +1 seems to has no effect at all and picking up multiple items and gaining another +1 doesn't seem to affect it either.
