issue with solute that splits

Dear all,

I would like my solute (made up of a dimeric protein plus a ligand)
to be translated as a whole to the other side of the cell, when it
crosses the periodic
boundary.

As far as I understood, activating the keyword "wrapAll on" in the
NAMD config file,
all the molecules (which are composed by contiguous atoms) in my system
will do that, but I would like my complex (monomer + monomer + ligand)
to do that as a whole.
Let's say when the center of mass of my complex crosses the boundaries
of the box,
it will be translated on the other side of the cell.

Any hint on how I can accomplish this would be really appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Best,
