Sprite Rotation Offset

Solar2D Lua Language
#1

Hi all,

By default the point of rotation is always the object center. Does anyone know if there is a way to set the object X and Y offset or origin so that it can rotate around a different point?

Thanks!

Hi Neil,

Rotations are linked to the objects reference point, normally defaulted on the centre.

Try using [lua]object:setReferencePoint( )[/lua] to change it.
