detect object gone outside stage

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I am building a game that the user has to grab objects before they float off the stage. i have everything working but i need to detect when a particular object or series of objects have left the stage and are not grab-able any more.

any ideas how to achieve this?

Andres.

If you are using physic bodies you could make an invisible wall outside the stage (lets say 1280+100) and when your object collides with it, it means its outside the stage.

Or make a runtime event and access object’s X position and if its higher than 1280 (or w/e resolution you are using) it means its outside. You can use 1280+object’s weight if you need the object to be fully outside the stage.

thanks undecode, is there a way to access a table of all the display objects to test if any of them are outside the screen?
