Hey all, I,m trying to make a top down shooter and am having a bit of trouble with my sprite. I think the SPRITE command draw my character from the bottom left and I was wondering if there was a command to change it so the sprite co-ordinats actually mean where the center of the sprite is. It was a bit hard explaining this so if you don't understand just say. Thanks.

You've almost answered your own question with the title of your thread Have a look at the offset sprite command (might be "sprite offset") - this will do exactly what you want.

Cheers,

Rich

That should do it. The easy way to test it is to rotate the sprite and see what happens. BTW, sprites start from the upper left and the offsets go right and down.
