Ignore.horizon

The ignore.horizon command allows an object to go above the horizon.

Syntax

ignore.horizon(obj oA);

Remarks

The horizon is an invisible horizontal line with a default value of 36. Normally, screen objects cannot go above the horizon. The ignore.horizon command allows an object to go past the horizon, all the way to the top of the screen. Use the observe.horizon command to restore normal behavior. Use the set.horizon command to adjust the location of the horizon.

Possible Errors

AGI does not check that object number oA is a valid object. If it is not, this command will overwrite other data on the memory heap, which may cause unexpected results, including possibly crashing AGI.

Example

Code:

set.horizon(42);      [ adjust horizon
ignore.horizon(o1);   [ object 1 is now allowed above horizon
...
observe.horizon(o1);  [ object 1 is NOT allowed above horizon
