Hey,

I'm trying to create a simple game but i need to know how to give a message when the block falls out of the form.
or to right or to left of the form.

i know that you can change the location of the picturebox with
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(100, 100)

i need to make somthing like

If picturebox1.location = (200,200) then
msgbox "FAIL"
end if

somthing like that or

if picturebox1.location.X = 200 and picturebox1.location Y = 200 then
msgbox "Fail"
end if

or

if picturebox1.location.X.Y = (200,200) then... enz

I hope you understand what i mean.

Hello,

Something like this maybe:

Picturebox goes off top:

Code: Select all

If PictureBox1.Location.Y < 0 Then
            MsgBox("Fail")
        End If

Picturebox goes off bottom:

Code: Select all

If PictureBox1.Location.Y > 200 Then
            MsgBox("Fail")
        End If

Picturebox goes off left:

Code: Select all

If PictureBox1.Location.X < 0 Then
            MsgBox("Fail")
        End If

Picturebox goes off right:

Code: Select all

If PictureBox1.Location.X > 200 Then
            MsgBox("Fail")
        End If

Should work.

Use a timer ? I think that's what you're looking for

Put

Code: Select all

If picturebox1.location = (200,200) then
msgbox "FAIL" 
end if

Put that into a timer, set it to Enable = True, Interval = How ever many seconds you you want to check ; per tick

1000 = 1 second
