Sprites bound to graphics?

[jaevelgames]

Hi!

 

I want to create graphics to use as bounds for different sprites, like this: 

 

 

In this case, the player sprite would be bound to move INSIDE the grey rectangle. No physics should have to be enabled, since I just want to change the x and y value of the player sprite.

 

Is this possible? And what would be the best way to achieve this?

 

Thanks!

Oh, and I dont want the player sprite to be draggable, just moving with key inputs.

Guess I'm looking for something like boundsSprite, except not restricted to dragging??

Are these areas always going to be rectangular? In that case you could use Math.clamp to keep the x and y values between your desired values.

I made some kind of collision-detection bounding me to the rectangle the player's currently on, which seem to work quite well. Haven't heard of Math.clamp, but I will check it out. Maybe it'll come in handy!

 

Thanks!
