Movement within a boundary
Author
For the purpose of this discussion, the boundary is that -100 < x < 100 and -100 < z < 100. So I have my player moving like this:
The problem lies when I go to the end of my boundary. At first, the boundary holds its own, but if I try to get through the boundary (lets say by holding down 'w' so I keep going foreward) eventually everything goes backwards. So when I press 'w', it does what 's' is supposed to do and vice versa. I can't figure out why. It seems like my code should work...
BTW, if you see a better method of accomplishing what I'm trying to do, please share. :)
So you're trying to constraint the player to within the boundary?
I would use a different approach. First determine the velocity of the player, without regard to the boundary. Then move the player, and check if the new location is outside the boundary. If so, clamp the offending coordinate.
In 1D:
Hope this helps,

In 1D:
if key == 'w' v = 1.0elsif key == 's' v = -1.0p += vp = max(min(p, 100), -100)Hope this helps,

umm...what does p represent? I've never used velocity (or much physics at all) in any of my programs. Now's a good time to start though. Could you put some comments next to your code?
p is the position of the object. In the example an object cannot go outside of the range [-100, 100].
