Why doesn't my clamp work?

Hi,

I have a drag n drop script that is working. And a "y value" clamping working. Because when I comment out the x value clamping I can drag my object however far I want in x direction. But when I try to clamp my x value I can't move the object at all anymore. Anyone know why?

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     private Vector3 startpos;
3.  
4.     // Use this for initialization
5.     void Start () {
6.         startpos = gameObject.transform.position;
7.     }
8.    
9.     void OnMouseDown () {
10.         //offset = transform.position - Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, Input.mousePosition.z));
11.     }
12.  
13.     void OnMouseDrag()
14.     {
15.         Vector2 curScreenPoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector2(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y));
16.         curScreenPoint.x = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.x, startpos.x, startpos.x + 100);
17.         curScreenPoint.y = Mathf.Clamp(transform.position.y, startpos.y, startpos.y);
18.         transform.position = curScreenPoint;
19.     }
20.  
21.     void OnMouseUp()
22.     {
23.         transform.position = startpos;
24.     }
25. }
26.  

 

Ooh shouldn't have been transform.position.x inside the () in the clamps. Should have been curScreenPoint.x. Case closed.

 

I love it when you go nuts over a problem only to see the bug when you post it on the forum, happens to me all the time, lol.

 

+1 it's called rubber duck programming, it helps if you keep something near or on your desk (originally it was a rubber duck, hence the name) and explain to it what are you doing... when you're saying it out loud, you will realize.
I have a toy dalek, I'm usually co-writing my code with my dalek.

 

I have three. My debugging is out of this world (and time-looping, which turns out to be a problem).

 

So the important thing is: we are your rubber duck! *sheeepuuu*

 

Hahahaha! I will for sure try this. I have a rubber dinosaure, he will be my test subject

 

All this time I thought I was crazy lol

I don't have a duck, but I guess a Yoshi plush counts

 

I used a plush penguin until running across a Dalek sale.
