Player movement issue...

Question

My player moves up and down, however there is something wrong with a part of the script. I have it set so as if the player goes higher than 4 on the y-axis, he cannot go further. Additionally with the other side, the player cannot go below -4 on the y-axis. This works fine sideways, but for some reason, as soon as the player reaches the bottom, he teleports 1 to the right, then teleports somewhere random around the screen. Here is the part of the script involved:

         if (transform.position.y > 4)
             transform.position = new Vector2(4, transform.position.x); // can't go further than 4
         else if (transform.position.y < -4)
             transform.position = new Vector2(-4, transform.position.x); // can't go further than -4

Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance!

transform.position is listed as a Vector3 in the scripting reference. You could try using transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, 4, 0); And the same for -4.. I'm not sure about the 2D scripting of unity so this may not solve anything.. Also as Lo0Nuhtik is saying declaring a Vector2 is by declaring the x first then the y as in Vector2(transform.position.x , 4);

In 2D, you can still assign transform.position a Vector2 for x and y
