Rotating an actor from script with one image?

[Guardian69]

Hi Guys,

Is there anyway I can rotate an actor from script so I only have to use one image?

i.e In the moondefender tutorial the rocket is rotated by using 30 images. I would like to have one image of a rocket and use some sort of actor rotate function in script.

I expect this is another daft question but I could find the answer by searching the forums.

Cheers,
Guardian

ah.. I think I've just read that rotating and scaling will be supported in GE1.5

yes but if you need a rotated sprite you could always use ferals image rotator

or rotsprite.exe if somehow that doesn't suit you

And then, use the sprite sheet as a new animation with the correct amount of horizontal and vertical frames. Then you would use animpos and animindex in the Script Editor to map each frame to movement, or whatever you need to do

Yup. You need the GE 1.5 prototype which is currently available at game-editor.net
To rotate an object with 1.5, use "SetRotation(value);"
