Here's a couple of fairly simple functions I've been working on to save me some headaches. I thought I'd share them.

Basically you have to initialise a single global variable to allow for both percentage and virtual resolution set-ups.

You can use this to get a position on your sprite in world co-ordinates (even if the sprite is rotated). Here's the code with a sample project (attached with media):

To test virtual resolution / percentage based just remark out the first / second line accordingly. The init sub-routine allows for both types.

EDIT: forgot to attach the project

I have added it to our internal suggestions list (SetSpriteClip) as I can see a few cool applications of this, though you will appreciate using a clipping plane will degrade graphic rendering performance

Hi Lee! I think you posted this in the wrong thread?

Might be nice to add a version of this command too though?
