pretty new to flashpunk. how can you keep your character from going offscreen?

Welcome!

If your camera never moves, it’s quite simple. In your character Entity’s update() method, add this:

//  do all your movement code first
clampVertical(0, FP.height);
clampHorizontal(0, FP.width);

If your camera moves, it’s a little more complicated but not that much:

clampVertical(FP.camera.x, FP.camera.x + FP.width);
clampHorizontal(FP.camera.y, FP.camera.y + FP.height);

Thanks!! it worked. This question was just to learn more about flashpunk although I could’ve gone to the documentation page instead. but thanks anyway.
