Hi,ive searched the forums but i dont really know what search terms to use for this question.

I want to be able to move sprites without using the move sprite command, however i cant use for example inc x because the sprite could be at angle and i need it to move in the direction it is facing. I cant use MOVE SPRITE because for the camera i am going to use it needs to use the actual position values and move sprite used with sprite x and sprite y simply wont work. Is There any other way of doing this?

many thanks

I have couple more questions to ask, and i thought it would make sense to add them on this thread,

Is There Any Formula to make a sprite rotate to face another sprite, if you need an example as to what i mean i will provide one.

And is it possible to have a non-square sprite, for pixel perfect collision instead of at the boundries of the sprite?

Thanks

when the collision occurs just use sprite x(spritenumber) and sprite y(spritenumber) to get the position of it.
