I have a cube object running around on a matrix, but i can't seem to stop it from running offscreen. Here's the code i've been trying, but for some reason it doesn't want to work.

X# = OBJECT POSITION X(1)
Z# = OBJECT POSITION Z(1)
IF X#<5 AND X#>95 AND Z#<5 AND Z#>95
X# = X#-3
Z# = Z#-3
ENDIF

The matrix is 100x100.
Now, shouldn't the X#-3 move the object back when it gets to the boundaries?

rewrite your code like this for a simple boundary effect.

naturally allter to suit regarding the integer sizes

Doesn't work.
Is there anything else i should put for that to work with an AI controlled object? That's the only reason i can see as to why it isn't working.

it should work if you do this:

100 being the size of the matrix, but i think that the number would be 100*matrix x tiles and 100 * matrix z tiles

lol, that's the exact same code. If it didn't work the first time, it's not going to work this time.

it will work but keep in mind the size its stopping and the VARIABLE name has to be exact.

all the other post are for sliding collision. I think you mean you want the object to get to the boundry then move away from it. try this code:



remember to put before the loop:

xmove# = [3 or -3]
zmove# = [3 or -3]

otherwise it wont move at all

you said its not player controlled right? so your probably teling it to just "move object" every loop, when it hits the sides its just gonna go through them, so instead of positioning the object somewhere else,just rotate it when it reaches the edge

well it should work and has been working here for years in simple tests. check your layout of code, its probably something over riding it.
