Max move

IsabelleK

Hello, I made an actor with rule:

When attribute game.XXXX is true,
Constrain attribute: self.PositionX to: game.Mouse.Position.X

Everything is working fine, but I want this actor to move from 50 to 430 only, so player'd be unable to move this actor outside of screen. Could you please tell me how to do that?

Thank you.

I don't have gs in front of me, but i think you could put that entire rule inside a master rule that says

If self.Position > 50 and if self.positionx < 430

Do this ( put your rule here )

I think that'll work. You could also put that rule around your constrain attribute, that might be a better move.

Heh, this makes me disappointed. Did you read my Textbook?! Page 37 explains the Constrain behavior, but it also mentions how the Min and Max functions are related in certain situations. I think this might be one of those situations.

Good point photics, those min/max functions would be perfect.

I'm going to buy your book now and it better be good

Ha ha... satisfaction is not guaranteed.
...but the feedback has been pretty good so far.

Also, the ordering page is open for comments. Only CaptainChoco has commented. There's also a chat box on my website.

Just kidding with you, i'm sure it's well worth every dollar.. Just paid, now i'm waiting....

I see a new order. I'm assuming it's yours. It takes about 10 minutes for the credit card to clear. You should get an email with download information soon after that.

Poland is poor country.

You're from Poland?! Cześć!

On the bright side, the Polish Zloty seems to be getting stronger when compared to the US dollar.. That probably hurts you if you're selling apps to the United States, but it's great news for buying American textbooks. HA HA!

Cześć. Używasz tylko translatora czy mówisz po polsku?
For non-polish speakers: Hi. Do you know polish or just using a translator?

It reminds me arabian countries, where everybody can say: "cześć" and "jak się masz?"

Do you know that I can buy food for about 39.4 years instead buying your book? ;P

this prob work=

if self.position.x < 240
Constrain attribute self.position.x to max(game.mouse.position.x, 50)
if self.position.x > 240
Constrain attribute self.position.x to min(game.mouse.position.x, 430)

I do know some very basic Polish, but I used a translator to get those special accents. HA!

I usually say "Co słychać" instead of "Jak się masz"

Commove supports three languages. Polish is one of them.

Ha ha, that seems unlikely. I am familiar with some food from Poland... mostly soup and Prince Polo chocolate bars.

Photics: if you (or anybody) wants to have polish translations from english (or just to check for mistakes) you can let me know

Prince Polo is classic, almost as Grześki :P
