Compare Y

Hi,

When my player falls off from the screen then the I restart the game. So, I created an event to Compare Y > 1000 of the player and if true then the player fell off the screen. That works but I am very confused why 1000? Shouldn't it be Compare Y < 0 instead which I tried and does not work.

Obviously, I do not know the x,y coordinates. I thought y=1000 is way up in the grid. Can someone educate me why comparing Y > 1000 works?

Thanks.

the top left corner of the screen is 0,0 for x and y. as you move down the screen, the y value increases.

Thanks, AllanR! I thought that the grid coordinates in Construct are the same as what was taught in math which is bottom left of the grid. Many thanks.
