How do you wrap an object around the play area?

[FlinkGigitty]

I gave one of my active objects the Bouncing Ball movement in an attempt to make it wrap around the play area.. But it doesn't.. I did a Always, but it doesn't seem to work :S How can you make it do?

Test for the object to leave the frame then in your actions Movement/Wrap around playfield

Ah, yea there was the event Ive been looking for so many times
.. But now, it turns out the movement events of the object is messing it all up. Is there any tutorials about doing this without the built in movement and event method?

Just always set its position to its position mod frame size.

Set X Position to X("Ball") mod Frame Width
Set Y Position to Y("Ball") mod Frame Height

[FlinkGigitty]

Im sorry, what? Mod frame? Are those in the Storyboard Control?

[LB]

The "Frame Width" expression comes from the frame object.

[FlinkGigitty]

Is Frame object an extension? Cause this is not working for me, when I use the Storyboard Control, which gives exactly the same expression when I choose Frame Width.. But then again, this could be because one of my other events are also using Set X position of Object to xxx, Set Y position of Object to xxx....

[LB]

The "Storyboard Object" IS the "Frame Object". Most people call it the frame object because it handles things about the frames and not the storyboard...

[FlinkGigitty]

Yea, thats what I guessed :]

Bah, this project was just supposed to be a very small one-day-created game to relax my brain from my main project.. Yet, Ive had thousands of issues and stuff not working already +_+

Ill just make the player DIE if he tries to move out of the frame.

I know you opted to do something different, but just FYI, LB's method is the best.

Although both MMF's inbuilt wrap function and LB's method don't take into the account the width of the animation, so it's a good idea to include some offsets.

(X("Ball") + (AnimationWidth/2)) mod (Frame Width + AnimationWidth)
