[Solved] How to rotate object around the origin point

RIR360 · June 25, 2020, 2:04pm

Top down object
My object is rotating around the center point but I want it to rotate around the origin point (red).

I’m using this action to rotate my object and there is no field to select anchor point or something…

Which action should I use to achieve this?

NOTE: My object goes forward and backward with “w”, “s” keys and rotate with arrow keys (left, right) to change direction.

hi. I don’t know the answer to your question. but if you aren’t use the center point of the object to something else (for example flip the object), you can change its position.

Why don’t you add a specific point to do the rotation and then use Rotate at position

Thanks… But I just realized I can change the position of center point. So, that did the trick.

Thanks a lot @Gyuszko.

Sure but it’s a better practice to let the center point without touch because maybe later you need that point for something else in your game, if that is not the case then is perfectly accepted that yoou reposition the center point as you like.

Yes that’s a good point. But I don’t think that’ll cause any problem later, because now the center point is actually at the “center of gravity” of my soldier.
