Limiting random motion.

**Limiting random motion. -** 05-05-2008, 09:30 PM

I have an object, i want it to move randomly (2-dimensionally, no forward direction being used.) between four points, lets say x = 5, -5 & y = 3, -3

I want the object to randomly move to a position within these boundaries, any ideas? So far, i can get the first movement to be within the boundaries, but when the fighter moves, the boundaries follow it, so they are relative to the fighter.

Just use the "vectorMoveAbs" method Dick Baldwin has provided in one of his excellent tutorials. You'll find it easily by using a google search in alice.org.
