I am creating a game were i control a batton (rectangle) at the bottom and there is a ball which is moving around and there are lots of blocks to destroy with the ball, just like "alley way". The problem I am having is that I am having trouble getting the movement to go left and right, i can get it to go up and down, but the only way i can get it to go left and right is to write in the "move object "if rightkey()=1 then move object 1,1". I need to set a number so it cant pass it so it can not go off the screen. I have put in my code, can someone help plz? In this code when the right key is pressed, the object moves down.

It's moving down? You're using the z axis though? Wouldn't it be better to just use the y axis to move up and down and the x to move left and right? I think its because you rotated the object.

All right. Do you want to make boundaries so that the ball doens't go off the screen? If so, the tutorial on Pong may help with that. Also, you should just increase the x value and decrease it to move left and right, and incread/decrease the y value to move up and down. If you need more help, just post here again, I'll be glad to help.

I am not sure how to do the bit about the y axis. I know that the first number is the name of theobject, the second is X, then Y, then X. Do i just have to take out the Y and put the X back. So it would be

Position Object 1,,-20, 0, Playerpos# ?????
