3D model not stopping at edge of the screen.

Question

extends KinematicBody

var speed = 350
var direction = Vector3()
var screenWidth = ProjectSettings.get_setting("display/window/size/width")

func _ready():
    pass

func _physics_process(delta):
    direction = Vector3(0, 0, 0)
    if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"):
        if translation == Vector3(-2.430556, 0, 0):
            print() 
        else:
            direction.x -= 1
    if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_right"):
        if translation == Vector3(2.430556, 0, 0):
            print()
        else:
            direction.x += 1
    direction = direction.normalized()
    print(translation)
    direction = direction * speed * delta
    move_and_slide(direction, Vector3(0, 1, 0))

Character should stop at Vector3 Cords
The character stops on the Left one. But doesn't stop on the Right.
Just Keeps Going.

Is there a better way of doing this. Or have i just done something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

Don't have editor out atm but you might want to check your second IF statement. It looks like it's skipping that condition and jumping to the else, which may explain why the character is going off-screen.

You would also implement that the character "stops" as far as the camera can go.

I see this. But Why exactly? I cant work out Why it would be skipping it.

So no idea why it was ignoring it so i changed it to:

    if translation < Vector3(2.430556, 0, 0):
        direction.x += 1
        rotation.z += 0.02
    else:
        print("woo")

And now it works fine. Thanks anyway
