Im having problems trying to make my game.

Im trying to make a game whereby you have chase after "things" that are running around the matrix.

My problem is that I can place 10 of the "things" (they are just cones atm) randomly on the map but I can't seem to get them to move automatically in a direction and then when they reach the edge of the matrix they bounce off in a random direction.

Thanks for any help.

Do you have any code to post or do you just need general help?

basically you need to know the x and z co-ordinates of the matrix and then adjust your cones once they reach them....
i.e.
say ur matrix is 300x300,10,10 and placed at 0,0,0
and ur cone is object 1, placed at 150,0,0 and pointing towards 150,0,300....

ur code should look like


and then the same for x>290
and then for the z values (which in this case will be the same)

that the sort of thing your looking for?

life's one big game
