rotating a group makes it disappear.

Games
#1

I’m making a gun turret which is composed of several groups. The base group is seperate from the barrel group.

All is fine until I try and rotate the turretBarrel group.

if I set turretBarrel.rotation = 90, it vanishes from the screen and I get no errors.

Also, if I set turretBarrel:rotate( 90 ), the same thing occurs.

Has anyone encountered this before?

Thanks

Did you use setReferencePoint on your groups? [import]uid: 21331 topic_id: 24180 reply_id: 97587[/import]

No, I’ll try that now…

Makes sense now that you’ve said it.

Ok so the display problem is sorted, but now my objects are moving oddly in relation to each other.

Is there a way to set the reference point to the centre of another object? Or a way to offset the reference point by an x/y value?
