How do I limit a number from exceeding a certain value

In this case, I'm trying to keep a player's velocity from becoming too high since the system using the velocity is multiplying the current player velocity by a number to produce a sort of dash. The current solution I've come up with so far limits the speed well, but also limits the direction of dashing to only 4 directions, creating odd moments where dashing appears to send you at an angle instead of the direction you wanted to dash.

I don't have access to your image, so my best advice is to use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate speed. That's all I can give you for now.

I can't find X and Z velocity in MCreator.

X and Z velocities are located in the entity data section

This took way too long.

I hope this works for limiting speed. Besides the formula (big blob of math before the greater than sign), you can customize the numbers.
