Better way to add padding

[dartyet1]

isntead of saying
leftmostx + padding;
you can say
leftmostx + this.transform.localScale.x / 2; and rightmostx - this.transform.localScale.x / 2;

that way you can change the size of the rocket and code will continuously work

This is better, but not as good as using the actual sprite’s size. See my post here:

Instead of padding, use sprite size

Instead of an arbitrary padding value, I think the best way to do this is to consider the size of the sprite itself. Here’s what I did: float spriteSize = GetComponent().bounds.size.x / 2; xMin = leftEdge.x + spriteSize; xMax = rightEdge.x - spriteSize; For example, my sprite is 112 pixels wide. GetComponent().bounds.size.x returns a value of 1.12 which is the pixels / pixels per unit (in this case 100). Then you divide by 2 to get half the sprite size, and adjust the xMin and xMax values …
