Title: How to clamp ship?
Post by: ptrlo on October 30, 2014, 08:23:18 AM

In a top down space ship game I need to clamp it so it doesn't go off screen, how do I achieve this? I store the ships X and clamp it, but it does nothing.

Add colliders where you don't want to allow it to go.

I tried that method as well, but for some reason my ship will not collide. I'ts a custom mesh, and the walls are basic cubes. They all have rigidbodies, etc.

Did you add colliders on both your ship and the walls? Are you moving it with Translate?

Checked colliders and countless other things.

Yes, I am moving it with translate.

You need to move it with forces, translate is changing the position and ignoring physics.
