Hi! <3

I'm trying to make a script that stops the player movement, I already tried a few things to do this, but it always generates a glitch, the controls works with the next script:

when backdrop switches to [backdrop3 v]
forever
if <key [d v] pressed?> then
change x by (5)
end
end

(Same with the left side)

Is there anyway to do this?? Any help is welcome.

PD: I'm sorry if there is something wrong with the explanation, it's my first time doing a post, I'll try to fix any mistakes here the fastest I can.

Easy

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [edge v] ?> then
stop [this script v]
end
if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> then
change x by (5)
end
if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> then
change x by (-5)
end
end

You choose the movement, but the if touching edge part stops the script if the sprite is touching the edge.

This is a script that will work with collision with walls or anything:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [w] pressed?> then
Try to move by (0) (5)
end
if <key [a] pressed?> then
Try to move by (-5) (0)
end
if <key [s] pressed?> then
Try to move by (0) (-5)
end
if <key [w] pressed?> then
Try to move by (5) (0)
end
end

define Try to move by (x) (y)
change x by (x)
if <collision detected> then
change x by ((0) - (x))
end
change y by (y)
if <collision detected> then
change y by ((0) - (y))
end

(collision detected is whatever you want to detect collision so it could be touching map, touching edge or both.

I think he/she meant to STOP the player from moving when touching the edge, not continue moving after you've touched it, and I don't hink they meant collisions against walls, either.

I think I did not explain it very well, I actually meant that I wanted to stop the movement to, for example the left side if it's touching the left edge, but that the player can still move to the right side, and if stop touching the edge he can move to the left side again, basically make the edges some kind of barriers

Hi, I think I can help!

Use this script:

forever
if <touching [edge] ?> then
stop [this script]
end
end

Hope that helped!

Do you mean to make this a game over or to make the edge a sort of wall?

I meant making the edge a wall
