Hello,

I'm new with construct. One thing that I find weird is the use of Events/Actions/Conditions in place of loops (for, while, if/else, etc).

Basically, I have an object that is outside of the layout (origin x=832, y=240). What I want to happen is this:

If the Mouse.X if within Layout 1 x-192, the object should move left until it's origin reaches (640,240).

And when the Mouse.X is less than the Layout 1 x-192, the object should start moving right until it's origin reaches (8.32,240) again.

But I'm not quite sure how. Can somebody help me?

Thanks!

What you described in pseudo is essentially all you need to do.

Use the System > Compare Two Values for Mouse.X > 192 - Move object left. Mouse.X < 192 - Move object right.

If you need help moving objects, you can enable Bullet behaviour and set angle to move toward a specific point.
