Try it. What position does on the square does it go to?

If I do a ā€œSet Position to x (((Square)Width) / 2))ā€ then it is across to the left side of the screen

What if you add that to the squareā€™s x position? THen what?

145

If I am on the right side, then if it bumps it would just back the player out of the block which is what I want. If I go to the left side, it just teleportā€™s me to the right side of the square, but not touching it. :+1:

146

How would you make it bump you out the left side, if adding the width goes to the right?

Subtracting makes the more sense. But if I subtract it it will just go off screen to the left side of the screen.

Why will it do that?

If the block is gonna be ā€œSet position to x, (((Square) Width / 2) - (Self) X Position)ā€. Then this is my prediction why it could do that.
When it is The frogs set position, we will be looking at the ā€œ(Square) Width / 2ā€, that will make it go to the center of the block(Iā€™m pretty sure/most likely), but with the subtraction of the x position it would go all the way to the left position of the screen. Because of the ā€œX Positionā€ of the frog being subtracted from the squares width. So if Frogs X position is 490, then it would be something like 37.5(half of the squareā€™s width) - 490, making it go all the way to the left side. Donā€™t know if Iā€™m right but itā€™s the best I can think of it going that way.

But ā€œSet position to x, (((Square) Width / 2) + (Self) X positionā€ works so that is what I am questioning right now. It should go to the right side of the screen because of that, but instead hits the right side of the blockā€¦

151

OH, wait I think itā€™s because it makes the number negative going to the other side of the screen making the equation negative, instead of positive SOā€¦ I have to use a Absolute value. oH my gosh i finally accomplished somethingā€¦

152

Now since I have completed the side bumps, I need to create a ā€œCheck Once Ifā€ block so once it hits the right or left side of the block it will do that function. Iā€™ma try finding it myself for nowā€¦ if I canā€™t then Iā€™ma need some assist points from you.
