How to prevent the sprite from leaving the layout?

Hi I'm new here.Sorry my English is bad.

I set a 8-direction movement for a sprite and it just keept on moving and moving until it disappeared from the screen.

But I want it to STOP moving when it reach the edge of the window.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

IF Sprite X<0: Set Sprite X = 0

IF Sprite X>[insert your layout Width]: Set Sprite X = [Insert your layout width]

IF Sprite Y<0: Set Sprite Y = 0

IF Sprite Y>[height of your layout]: Set Sprite Y = [Your layout height]

try it

If you are using sprite with 8-dir movement you can create Tiled Background object around game window (outside the layer) and make that object solid.

No event, no coding :)

yes but the sprite will get neurotical attack whenever he'll hit the solid obstacle. with my method he'll just nicely stop without suddenly going apes***t <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

but bottom line is - yes, both methods will work just fine.

Can't remember this happen to me. but i'm always using square detectors not actual "hero" sprites... so yes it can start to move like crazy <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Easy and effective way:

+ System: Always (every tick)

-> Sprite: Set position to clamp(.x, 0, LayoutWidth ), clamp(.y, 0, LayoutHeight )

Tell that to people who are still scared or never found system expressions <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
