First read this so you dont accidentally suggest something I've already done:

I'm making an air hockey game where the sidewalls and centerline are barriers to player one's mouse (so that you cant go out or into player 2's space... common sense).

I have the hockey stick set to the mouse's location, i have the actual mouse hidden and now im trying to stop it from going out.

I have tried all collisions possible:



Thats what im putting it in and I have tried:

dbWaitKey()
dbWaitMouse()
dbWait(1000)
dbSleep(1000)
etc.

it all make the mouse stop on the wall (thats great) but it requires a click or keystroke to make it move again.

How do i just make the mouse hit the wall and STOP like a barrier so i cant go outside that space?

How about instead of making the mouse stop moving you just make the hockey stick stop moving, then do all mouse clicks and whatever based on the hockey stick's position?

well, you could use the dbPositionMouse(X, Y) command, where you keep track of the previous mouse position in some variables. Then, if the mouse goes too far in either direction, you can reposition it in the old position. Something like this:



where MinX, MinY, MaxX and MaxY are the boundaries of your player box.

Hope that helps

Hmm, seems to be an improvement. Seems like there would be an easier way though. Once the stick touches the wall it should just stop because its a wall (duh).
