Object Awareness/Sensitivity ?

[OldSchool80s]

Ok, so I'm getting started with MMF, since becoming an official paid user.

What I'm finding is that there is a lot of trial an error in learning, but I find that there are some things I "assume" should be in place. (Why would there be an option available, when it is not supposed to be available for the type of momement selected for an object?)

I've selected by active object movement type to be "Eight Directions".

Then when setting conditions and actions, I set the action to "Wrap"... it doesn't work... well after trial and error, more error... I thought, Okay, time to hit the help file.

It turns out that "Wrap" is as follows:

Wrap around play area
Makes the object wrap from one side to the other. Available for movements like the ball movement, the race car movement.

So, under Movement, which is where I can select "Wrap", there are other options that are not selectable, such as: Reverse, Set Gravity... etc. So, if "Wrap Around Play Area" cannot be used with the type: "Eight Directions", then why is it shown as a selectable option?

Is it just me or should I expect to find more areas that will have this same issue of being able to select options that are not compatible with other settings I have already chosen?

* Shouldn't the software be aware of options set by me already?

I'm trying to remember what works with what... I don't know if I have enough brain cells to remember what "doesn't" work with what.

It does work, you're just not setting the actions up correctly For the condition you can use "Player leaves the play area" (active > position > test position of active > then click all areas that point out of the frame sides). Once that condition is triggered then you can do the movement wrap and it'll work, I just tried it out right now to be sure.

And a Sumo slam to the mat for me... eheh...

You are correct. I got it working. Thanks!
