Hi, how would I go about setting up my game (a scrolling flight "sim") so that my main object cannot go off the screen? However, I don't want the enemies to have this restriction.

Any help is welcome

Thanks.

Man, you keep changing your game design...

Ok. You can use this.

+ Code Snippet

if(dbObjectScreenX ( int iObject )<=a small number close to zero so that the entire object is visible){

now either speed up the object so that it keeps up with the camera or move the camera.

}else if(dbObjectScreenX ( int iObject )>=dbScreenwidth( void )-a small number){

now either slow down the object so that it stays with the camera or move the camera.


}
if(dbObjectScreenY ( int iObject )<=a small number){

stop the object or move the camera up.

}else if(dbObjectScreenY ( int iObject )>=dbScreenHeight-a small number){

stop the object or move the camera down.




}

It is the basic idea. Exactly what the code will be depends on what exactly you want to do in the game.

uuhh... yah...
