I’m trying to set coordinates/points in scene for an area that objects may not go through.

My puzzles

Yet it doesn’t work?

Are the objects that you are trying to control….
a) dynamic / controlled by physics
b) animated via keyframes and played through the play animation puzzle
c) animated by the animate parameter puzzle
d) animated by JS
e) controlled by the user via drag/move puzzles or other event based movement?
d) and the object is not a camera .. correct?

Answers:
a) No physics here
b) they’re not animated, either by keyframes or the play animation puzzles
c) No
d) No
e) objects are only controlled by event based movement, especially by user input (e.g., key,
mouse)
f) object here is not a camera.

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

Well at the moment…I am thinking this becomes a math problem and it gets more complicated based on whether the boundary objects are compound curves vs straight edges, 2D or 3D.

An example of straight lines might be the perimeter of a house vs a figure 8 race track.

Is this a single plane that your objects are moving across.. or its it more for your character that may have to move over terrain?

the coordinates are in straight lines, for rectangular areas.

It’s for rectangular objects (e.g., platforms) my character is moving across. Don’t want it to pass through those objects.

Sorry I didn’t clarify earlier.

Ok… just want to clarify. Your character will be limited to a rectangular space it can move across in X and Y and you want to prevent it from basically falling off the platform. The Z-Axis is not an issue correct?

Actually, the coordinates here are Y and Z axis, X-axis is not an issue, and even if the character falls off the platform, it’s fine.

I just don’t want character going through the platform. Meaning I need coordinates around the platform that cannot be accessed by character

So the character can move freely and even off the plat form. But just can’t fall through it? Does the character jump?

Technically, it flies. But I just don’t want certain objects going through that platform

Based on this you could use bounding boxes to manage interference.

Sorry for the late reply, but on second thought, I managed to define a perimeter that (certain) objects are prevented going through, albeit crudely
