when my box moves around it just goes through it and off of the side

the box has the matrix like half way through it

also how do i make the box stop when it is at the end of the matrix

any other suggestions for my code are welcome

thx!

You need to position the box correctly when you create it. The placement point for the cube is at its centre, so you just need to move it up a bit.



To stop the cube going outside of the matrix bounds, simply take a snapshot of the current coords, then move the object. Then you can test if the object has moved out of bounds, and reposition it if it has.

Just one little point with your code - don't use fall-throughs ('player' falls through to 'controls'). Make sure that each subroutine is separate and correctly terminated or you will end up with difficult-to-find bugs.

Even better - use functions instead

To make the box walk ontop of the matrix, add this line of code near the end of your main loop...

Position Object 1,Object Position X(1),Get Ground Height(1, Object Position X(1),Object Position Z(1))+5,Object Position Z(1)

...To make the box not able to leave the matrix, use...

If Object Position X(1)<0 then Position Object 1,0,Get Ground Height(1,0,Object Position Z(1))+5,Object Position Z(1)
If Object Position X(1)>50 then Position Object 1,50,Get Ground Height(1,50,Object Position Z(1))+5,Object Position Z(1)
If Object Position Z(1)<0 then Position Object 1,Object Position X(1),Get Ground Height(1,Object Position X(1),0)+5,0
If Object Position Z(1)>50 then Position Object 1,Object Position X(1),Get Ground Height(1,Object Position X(1),50)+5,50

...Also add this line of code underneath your "Prepare Matrix Texture" code...

Randomize Matrix 1,10

...Well... I hope I helped...

thx dudes
how would i use functions for this how would i write them

they kinda confuse me
