Getting specific x values

Hey everyone.

I've been trying to figure out how to get the x position of an object from a specific location.

So for example, you have a sprite that has been spawned at x=300 y=300

How would you get the x value of where the sprite ends to the right.

What I have been doing is creating a variable that holds the sprite's width then adding its x position to the width which then equals the x position on the far right of the sprite.

Is there an easier alternative to this?

Thanks.

Ok, its easy.

When you spawn or create object at x:300 y:300 u creating your object and this obiect Origin (image point) is in this point (x:300, y:300).

In most of cases Origin pooint is in the middle of obiect, so its right end will be: createX + obiect.width/2

But if u change origin position it can by more tricky but construct is very helpfull:

Just use obiect.BBoxRight

You can check it on: https://www.scirra.com/manual/133/common-expressions

I might of misunderstood your question but depending on the origin point

far right x=sprite.x+sprite.width (origin point far left)

far right x=sprite.x+sprite.width/2 (origin point centered)

I guess I would go for sprite.bboxleft for the left side and sprite.bboxright for the right side..

That would even work if the sprite has a different shape and is rotated..

Thanks guys! Managed it!

It was for the random terrain generation similar to kingdom.
