I have an object that i want to fly around a box (the box is a brightblue line. and when it hits a wall, I want it to deflect into another direction. but the way I have it it juts follows the exact same pattern, (the oattern is only 4 bouces, is very obvious, and very unprofessional looking!) so i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out a way to fix this, and make it look better. this is the code I have for the deflection
bX = bird X position bY = bird Y position the pic of the bird is square , so i use bird width to place bX and bY in the middle of the pic. so half of birdWidth is the borders of the bird. when a border hits a wall (whatdotcolor (coordinated) = brightblue) i want it to delfect. so any ideas???? any help is appreciated. |

deflect? like go in the opposite direction? you need to make the +velocity go -, or - velocity go + for the approperiate x,y chords. velocityX *= -1 |

perhaps try useing real variables, and Multiply by not a whole 1, but RandInt(.1, .6), Iv'e never tryed it, and its to late to test, but its worth a try. I think it would project a different path each time it hits somthing. If you want a more specific deflection, like one would want for pong (depending where on the paddle the ball hits and which way the paddles going), It would involve alot more math. |
