hey how can i do this for a 2d platformer

2 

import GameLogic
 
cont = GameLogic.getCurrentController()
own = cont.getOwner()
 
own.setPosition([own.getPosition()[0], 0.000, own.getPosition()[2]])

Also, select player and use CTRL+A.

import GameLogic

cont = GameLogic.getCurrentController()
own = cont.getOwner()

own.setPosition([own.getPosition()[0], 0.000, own.getPosition()[2]])

If you’re going to run that every frame then use this:


own = GameLogic.getCurrentController.owner
own.position = [own.position[0], 0.000, own.position[2]]

That’s using the new python API, lol. The simple way would be to use the constraint actuator (and the most efficient)

ok thanks o lot man you rock

No problem, anytime m8 =)

Like -[Killer]- said, link up the logic [Sensor: Always]-----[AND]-----[Constraint]

For the constraint, set the Limit to Y and set the Min and Max both to the coordinates of where you want the player to be. You can press N to open transform properties and Copy the Y coordinates and Paste them into the Min/Max buttons on the constraint actuator.

This question is kinda vague.

how so? it a simple question right

No vague at all, how to keep player on x and y, what would you of said? How do I keep the player on x and y axis? Or How to keep my player on the x and y axis but not the z?

Not that tough of a question kid =)
