How to scale it from a different "center"

(Secret) #1

Hi guys, whenever I scale the graphic using scaleX or scaleY it always scales relative to the (0,0) position of the graphic. How do I make it so that the scaling comes from the actual center of the graphic?

Use centerOrigin() on your graphic.

are there any way to set arbitary center of the entity? such as set rotation center(pivot) at any given (x,y) ~

On the Image class there is centerX and centerY. That should do the trick.

Hi ,

centerX and centerY are just readonly perperties so can’t set.

see picture below, the upper-left corner small green rect is pivot of the entity? actually setOrigin(x,y)/centerOrigen() have no impact to it. I see only hitbox is affected by setOrigin. are there ways to change pivot to center of the entity?

originX and originY. That’s what you are looking for.

centerX and centerY is a only-read property wich is the position of the center in the world.

Entities have originX and originY; those govern the registration point of the hitbox.

To change the center of rotation on a graphic, use centerX and centerY on the graphic itself. Note that they don’t exist on every type; for example, Image and Spritemap both have origins, but Tilemap and Emitter do not.
