Why isn't my slowdown working?

motorpower=0.4;
else
motorpower=1;
later in TeleopPeriodic(where vmc is a talon object):
vmc->Set(motorpower);
and that does not work.
any thoughts?

What I mean by it doesn't work is that the motor doesn't slow down. It keeps at the same speed.

Are you sure you're pushing "Button #10"?
