Guys I was trying to get the basics down for my game and I can't seem to be able to restrict the characters movement on the X and Z axis. I have the following code:
// Prevent ship from flying under the ground
Position.Y = Math.Max(Position.Y, MinimumAltitude);
//Prevent ship from flying past the floor boundaries
Position.X = Math.Max(-650000.0f, 65000.0f);
Position.Z = Math.Max(-650000.0f, 65000.0f);
although this just stops the character from moving off this one spot.
One way I thought I could fix this is using some sort of sin or cos function to restrict its movement although how I would implement it is beyond me so any help would be really appreciated!

Quote:Position.X = Math.Max(-650000.0f, 65000.0f);I think you want to use a 'clamp' function here. The above two lines simply equate to:
Position.Z = Math.Max(-650000.0f, 65000.0f);
Position.x = 65000.0f;Position.y = 65000.0f;
Or you could just write:
Position.X = Math.Min(Math.Max(-650000.0f, Position.X), 65000.0f);
Position.Z = Math.Min(Math.Max(-650000.0f, Position.Z), 65000.0f);
Position.X = Math.Min(Math.Max(-650000.0f, Position.X), 65000.0f);
Position.Z = Math.Min(Math.Max(-650000.0f, Position.Z), 65000.0f);
Quote:Original post by RatslayerIf you're going to be performing this operation more than once (as is the case for the OP), you don't want to be writing that out or copy-and-pasting it repeatedly. Instead, the code should be factored out and placed in its own function so that it can be reused.
Or you could just write:
Position.X = Math.Min(Math.Max(-650000.0f, Position.X), 65000.0f);
Position.Z = Math.Min(Math.Max(-650000.0f, Position.Z), 65000.0f);
In other words, a 'clamp' function, as has already been suggested.
