well i got this small matrix of 20 by 10 and i use this code for an object that i use as an pointer but the problem is that the object cant get off the matrix like i want to but the mouse goes through

if mx#<0 then mx#=1
if mx#>10 then mx#=9
if my#>20 then my#=19
if my#<4 then my#=5
mx#= MOUSEX()
my#= 20 - MOUSEY()
position object 7,mx#,0,my#

~im not good at expressing things but who cares, im a god in my mind~

Well, I'm not quite sure what you are asking. But one thing you probably want to change:

if mx#<0 then mx#=1
if mx#>10 then mx#=9
if my#>20 then my#=19
if my#<4 then my#=5

To:

if mx#<0 then mx#=0
if mx#>10 then mx#=10
if my#>20 then my#=20
if my#<4 then my#=4

You want to make your check the same number as your repositioning. Otherwise your object will skip around.

Any chance you could restate your question? I'm not quite clear on what you are asking. The only other thing I could think of that would give you problems is that maybe the object isn't moving in sync with the mouse? This can be fixed by two ways in this code:

position object 7,mx#,0,my#

Either change the y position (currently at 0) to something else. Or, and more preferably, devide the mx# and my# variables by different numbers. Experiment to see what numbers get it matching more closely with the mouse.

Take your after a mouse to 3d/matrix coordinates.

Theres a sample here in the codebase

http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?m=codebase_view_code&i=1eb03b2a2b7549c2ee563984c21bc4ef

Suggest you download the sample.zip file that shows a nice demo of it working
