TLR; Why does a sprite stop moving after its been 'hit'?

This is obviously a good thing, but what is happening under the hood?

so if i have this:



the sprite moves, but when there is a collision this is triggered (is it wrong/lazy btw?)



AND as well as being off screen it stops moving (a good thing), but the move code IS STILL IN the loop for the spriteID, but has no effect. Why? (Just trying to learn!)

I'm afraid you're not giving us enough code to work with here. Most likely the issue is with an 'if' or 'while' statement that remains true after you have changed the position to -1000 and -1000 and therefore continues to skip the movement code.

I am pretty sure the example project Bubbles_with_types should give you an idea on how to tackle this particular problem;

Are you calling SetSpritePosition(spriteID,-1000,-1000) repeatedly?

Thx guys!

I realise that I was mistaken about what was happening. I presume that the sprites DO continue to move unless i add an 'alive' keyvalue pair for example (as per the video). Thanks Phemox!

@ironmanhood, i dont quite do exactly that setPosition but similar. Is it wrong?

It depends on what code you have and what you are trying to accomplish. If it seems to be working as intended then something must be correct.
