Hey fellas,

I have a sprite. I want to rotate it on the spot, so that it can face in different directions. When I use the ROTATE SPRITE command, the fulcrum is in the top left corner of the sprite, causing it to rotate out of position on the screen. The sprite therefore spins like a sail on a windmill.

I want to move the fulcrum to the centre of the sprite so that it rotates like a spinning top.

How do I do this?

I'm using DB Pro. In case it helps anyone write some code for me, the size of the sprite is 50x50 pixels.

Use the OFFSET SPRITE to adjust the rotation point. It also adjusts its positioning too, so you might need to adjust that.
