As shown in this video, this white square can go through the right and left border and ends up teleporting back up or down a row as well.

How do i prevent this and get the square to stop when it hits the edges?

NOTE: Each cell is a frame which is counted from 1 to 100 from the top left to the bottom right corner of the canvas.

function MovePlayer()
	for index, CanvasCell in ipairs(GameCanvas:GetChildren()) do
		if CanvasCell:IsA("Frame") and CanvasCell.CellType.Value == "Player" and not PlayerMoved then
			if CurrentPlayerDirection == "Up" then -- Move up
				
				local NextCell = GameCanvas:FindFirstChild("cell" .. CanvasCell.LayoutOrder - ConfigModule.CanvasSizeXY)
				if NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "Floor" then
					ConfigModule.Map[CanvasCell.LayoutOrder] = "-"
					ConfigModule.Map[NextCell.LayoutOrder] = "P"
					PlayerMoved = true
					print("Moved up")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "WinPart" then
					print("Win!")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "KillPart" then
					print("Dead!")
				end
				
			elseif CurrentPlayerDirection == "Down" then -- Move down
				
				local NextCell = GameCanvas:FindFirstChild("cell" .. CanvasCell.LayoutOrder + ConfigModule.CanvasSizeXY)
				if NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "Floor" then
					ConfigModule.Map[CanvasCell.LayoutOrder] = "-"
					ConfigModule.Map[NextCell.LayoutOrder] = "P"
					PlayerMoved = true
					print("Moved down")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "WinPart" then
					print("Win!")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "KillPart" then
					print("Dead!")
				end
				
			elseif CurrentPlayerDirection == "Right" then -- Move right
				
				local NextCell = GameCanvas:FindFirstChild("cell" .. CanvasCell.LayoutOrder + 1)
				if NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "Floor" then
					ConfigModule.Map[CanvasCell.LayoutOrder] = "-"
					ConfigModule.Map[NextCell.LayoutOrder] = "P"
					PlayerMoved = true
					print("Moved right")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "WinPart" then
					print("Win!")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "KillPart" then
					print("Dead!")
				end
				
			elseif CurrentPlayerDirection == "Left" then -- Move left
				
				local NextCell = GameCanvas:FindFirstChild("cell" .. CanvasCell.LayoutOrder - 1)
				if NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "Floor" then
					ConfigModule.Map[CanvasCell.LayoutOrder] = "-"
					ConfigModule.Map[NextCell.LayoutOrder] = "P"
					PlayerMoved = true
					print("Moved left")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "WinPart" then
					print("Win!")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "KillPart" then
					print("Dead!")
				end
				
			end
		end
	end
	RefreshCanvas()
	PlayerMoved = false
end

Feedback will also be nice too!

You don’t want cell going up and down when it gets to at the end of a border area?

I’m trying to get it to not go through at all. Its suppose to stop when it hits the edge.

I might try something like this, take a try:

local TableOfNotApprovedCellsLeft = {1,11,21,31,41,51,61,71,81,91}
local TableOfNotApprovedCellsRight = {10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100}

function MovePlayer()
	for index, CanvasCell in ipairs(GameCanvas:GetChildren()) do
		if CanvasCell:IsA("Frame") and CanvasCell.CellType.Value == "Player" and not PlayerMoved then
			if CurrentPlayerDirection == "Up" then -- Move up
				
				local NextCell = GameCanvas:FindFirstChild("cell" .. CanvasCell.LayoutOrder - ConfigModule.CanvasSizeXY)
				if NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "Floor" then
					ConfigModule.Map[CanvasCell.LayoutOrder] = "-"
					ConfigModule.Map[NextCell.LayoutOrder] = "P"
					PlayerMoved = true
					print("Moved up")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "WinPart" then
					print("Win!")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "KillPart" then
					print("Dead!")
				end
				
			elseif CurrentPlayerDirection == "Down" then -- Move down
				
				local NextCell = GameCanvas:FindFirstChild("cell" .. CanvasCell.LayoutOrder + ConfigModule.CanvasSizeXY)
				if NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "Floor" then
					ConfigModule.Map[CanvasCell.LayoutOrder] = "-"
					ConfigModule.Map[NextCell.LayoutOrder] = "P"
					PlayerMoved = true
					print("Moved down")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "WinPart" then
					print("Win!")
				elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "KillPart" then
					print("Dead!")
				end
				
			elseif CurrentPlayerDirection == "Right" then -- Move right
				if not table.find(TableOfNotApprovedCellsLeft,CanvasCell.LayoutOrder + 1) then
					local NextCell = GameCanvas:FindFirstChild("cell" .. CanvasCell.LayoutOrder + 1)
					if NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "Floor" then
						ConfigModule.Map[CanvasCell.LayoutOrder] = "-"
						ConfigModule.Map[NextCell.LayoutOrder] = "P"
						PlayerMoved = true
						print("Moved right")
					elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "WinPart" then
						print("Win!")
					elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "KillPart" then
						print("Dead!")
					end
				end
				
			elseif CurrentPlayerDirection == "Left" then -- Move left
				if not table.find(TableOfNotApprovedCellsRight,CanvasCell.LayoutOrder - 1) then
					local NextCell = GameCanvas:FindFirstChild("cell" .. CanvasCell.LayoutOrder - 1)
					if NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "Floor" then
						ConfigModule.Map[CanvasCell.LayoutOrder] = "-"
						ConfigModule.Map[NextCell.LayoutOrder] = "P"
						PlayerMoved = true
						print("Moved left")
					elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "WinPart" then
						print("Win!")
					elseif NextCell and NextCell.CellType.Value == "KillPart" then
						print("Dead!")
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
	RefreshCanvas()
	PlayerMoved = false
end

This works, but using large tables as a list of unapproved cells to move to isn’t the best due to customizable resolution. But i can have some code that automatically fills them depending on the amount of cells or something like that.

Yeah well that’s pretty simple to do:

local CellsInOneLine = 10
local AllCellsTogether = 100

local TableOfNotApprovedCellsLeft = {}
local TableOfNotApprovedCellsRight = {}

local CountLeft = 1
for i=1,CellsInOneLine do
     table.insert(TableOfNotApprovedCellsLeft,CountLeft)
     CountLeft = CountLeft + CellsInOneLine
end

local CountRight = 0
for i=1,CellsInOneLine do
     CountRight = CountRight + CellsInOneLine 
     table.insert(TableOfNotApprovedCellsLeft,CountLeft)
end
