Hi all,

is there a way to determine if my character is on the left or right edge of the visible screen? I want to limit his movement based on the screen device. I dont want the character to go off the screen since there is no scroll on him. Something like bound by screen would be ideal

there is a behavior https://www.scirra.com/manual/89/bound-to-layout

if you want to use another way, you can make 4 invisible wall and set x,y, and use:

ViewportBottom(layer)

ViewportLeft(layer)

ViewportRight(layer)

ViewportTop(layer)

Bound to layout would be ideal but since there is no scrolling on my main character, it ends like this: my character leaves screen and then game over. The invisible wall could work. Also i thought about restrict his x y movements but on different screen sizes/aspects the character could not reach the edge of screen or go beyond it.
