Hi Haochuan,

This was not implemented, but it did seem to be a good suggestion.

I have just committed the following change:
https://github.com/Colvars/colvars/commit/431e52a11f34ccef1329396f91314c6e56146a53

Now, scripted and custom function colvars accept the keywords *period* and
*wrapAround*, to manually define them as periodic.

Please test it and tell me if it works in your case.

Best,
Jerome
