How do I make an Image Point not rotate with a sprite?

I'm trying to set a health bar's position to a sprite's image point, but when the sprite's angle changes, the image point moves with it.

Is there a way to make it so the image point stays in the same place?

My current work around is to set the x and y of the health bar to the sprite's x and y then add whatever numbers to them to stick it where I want. But I want to make multiple sprites of different sizes and would like to stick the health bars to them in one chunk of code.

Thanks for any help.

One way around it is to have the offset distance applied by the sprite's width or height (or a combination of the two). So:

Set Healthbar position to:

X: Sprite.X + ( {Offset} * Sprite.Width )

Y: Sprite.Y + ( {Offset} * Sprite.Width )

Where {Offset} is a fixed value that determines how far from the origin of the sprite you want the healthbar to be, this example will give you a healthbar to the bottom right of your sprite.
