How to: make this flower stay within the window?

Physics

Hello guys! I’ve been playing around in Hype professional with the physics and I’m curious if there is a way to prevent an object from leaving a specific area. If you take a look at my test I have set up a window with a flowerpot which is draggable. However, it keeps falling out from the window if you drag it outside it’s borders.

I want the flowerpot to stay in position, and if you try to move it outside the window it should stay inside.
I know this function is working if the area is the same as the scene size but there should be a way to lock it when a scene is bigger than the window in this case.

Also, since this is a test only and will not be used in anything, it would be fun if you guys could implement more physics function. Why not make a room with different things like a lamp chained from the ceiling? :slight_smile:

You could use another timeline and then apply a motion path from the Edit menu to restrict movement.

Here's a sample that restricts movement within the parent box horizontally...

This seems to conflict with the physics…

It does seem to conflict with physics, jQuery draggable does too.

And why is that Greg?

It was because I had not checked the “Continue after drag” check box. It works as expected with it checked.

ah I see, great demo btw! Thanks for sharing!
