I want to have enemies stay within the area of a sprite which will be invisible and will change sizes. is there a way to keep them moving anywhere as long as it's inside the limits of a sprite? I'm trying to find a self contained way of doing this without adding invisible walls.

Kind of like the way bound to layout behavior works but in this case bound to sprite.

You could probably do this using clamp(...).

Assuming that you were to use MoveTo in order to move your sprites.

MoveTo ->

X -> clamp(valueToClampX, invisibleSpriteLeftEdge, invisibleSpriteRightEdge)

Y -> clamp(valueToClampY, invisibleSpriteTopEdge, invisibleSpriteBottomEdge)

This will just limit the x and y values to inside of your invisible box.
