GML [Resolved] Move object from one point to another

[BrunoDelfim]

Hello! I'm starting the development of a game for android where the obejto will walk vertically automatically and when clicking on the screen the object goes from one side to the other of the screen, when clicking the object reverses the trajectory, so on, the game has a bar on each side of the screen to keep the object on the screen.

I have already tried many methods, many searched here in the forum, but I can not make object wander from one direction to another until it collides, in the code I made it just disappears from the point where it is and appears colliding with the other bar, and clicak it exits from this point and appears colliding with the other bar.

I need to have a horizontal movement by swapping the direction of the object until it collides, and clicking it changes the direction until it collides with the other bar.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

vsp = 5;
hsp = 8;
vclick = 1;

if mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left) {

if vclick == 1 {

vclick = 2;
while(!place_meeting(x + hsp, y, obj_BarraLateral)) {
x += hsp;
}

} else {

vclick = 1;
while(!place_meeting(x - hsp, y, obj_Barra)) {
x -= hsp;
}
}
}

y = y - vsp;

Thanks in advance!

I'm probably misunderstanding this part of your question, but if by "swapping the direction" you mean the opposite direction, use: direction - 180.

In fact, I need to object to the object bar until it crashes.

The red ball object has to move to one side when clicking with the mouse, the movement must be slow, and when clicking again it should move to the other bar, so on.

The issue of the OP isn't the turning, but the moving until collision.

Hi and welcome to the GMC!

You probably meant to use this:
Create event:

vsp = 5;
hsp = 8;
vclick = 1;

Step event:

if mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left) {
    if vclick == 1 {
        vclick = 2;
    } else {
        vclick = 1;
    }
}

if vclick == 1 {
    while(x > xprevious - hsp && !place_meeting(x - 1, y, obj_Barra)) {
        x -= 1;
    }
} else {
    while(x < xprevious + hsp && !place_meeting(x + 1, y, obj_BarraLateral)) {
        x += 1;
    }
}

y = y - vsp;

Hello jo-thijs thank you so much!!! That's what I needed, I researched a lot before and could not mount the code. Thank you again!!!
