Screen Wrap 2D Space Shooter Tut (Playmaker)
Hello,
I am a long time lurker of the Unity space and have been learning it for quite sometimes, I have started off with Playmaker as well and hit a bump.
Currently I am following the 2D Space Shooter tutorial at 3D Buzz, here is the link: http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/sv_showvideo.php?v=3594
The tutorial has this feature of screen wrap where when the player moves off the right hand side of the screen, they would appear on the left side and vice versa. I have been able to code through the part where it would set the position, however after setting the position, the object freezes and doesn't move again.
I was able to mimic the code written to move the cube just fine, however it goes off screen, then I tried to add a "Set Position" state to do the wrap effect, however after doing the "teleport" code, the cube freezes.
Here is the main state I start with (which works fine for normal movement): Simple float compare to compare the position of the object at a given time vs the position of it when it is outside of the screen.
Here is the other state to set position for when object is outside the screen (and the whole FSM):
Not sure how to get it moving again after it wraps using Playmaker.
I already searched through answers here, however couldn't find anything similar to this.
Thank you very much.
I moved the first three actions from the Listener state to the "Out Of Screen Left" state and it did the wrap up effect once, however it didn't loop over it, the box would continue moving forever off screen.

Got the answer, in the Listener state I had the tolerance value for the float compare action set to 0.3 which would then prevent the continues movement as it checks against the current location + tolerance and doesn't move since both are equal to the position I am setting it on.
