I’m making a pong-like game and i can’t figure out how to set boundaries for the paddle. for example, when i press the key to move the paddle up it moves off the screen.

  • Use Colliders or Joints if you are using physics.
  • Use Mathf.Clamp if you’re using your own movement logic.
  • Solve it any other way, there are many ways to solve the problem.

Example:

// Using Mathf.Clamp to stop yAxis from going below -10 and above 10.

// Apply movement
yAxis += Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime;

// Restrict to bounds
yAxis = Mathf.Clamp(yAxis, -10, 10);
