My minimap's offscreen points don't show up how I want

Posted 10 June 2015 - 05:00 PM

I made a gps minimap program, and it's really been the only thing I've been working on. The way it deals with off-screen waypoints is it draws it on the side it's gone past, but also at it's x position. Let me draw a diagram to explain.

I really need help with this little problem, as I've put it off too long…and don't have quite the skills to fix it myself.

    if itemX > corner1[1] and itemX < corner2[1] and itemZ < corner2[2] and itemZ > corner1[2] then
	 if not (itemX == midPoint[1] and itemZ == midPoint[2]) then
	  if isConnected then
	   if colormode then
	    term.setTextColor(mapColors[3])
	   else
	    term.setTextColor(colors.white)
