Sprite import issue

Hi Guys,

First post and thread. I have spent a bit of time looking through the forums but haven't seen anything similar, to be honest I am not certain how to accurately describe the problem but here goes.

I made up some graphics for a spaceship (several) bullets... etc. For a vertical shooter. All of the images point upwards vertically. When a sprite is imported there are resize points around the outside of the image. but there is a central line that seems to determine the way construct handles movement etc... Why is it horizontal and not vertical by default. And how do I change this?

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the noobish question :-)

The object angle is 0 by default, which is to the right. You need to rotate the image in the image editor.

Thanks for your reply!

I had noticed I could rotate the image to that line (which I know thankfully know is the object angle. But.... if I am making a vertical scroller shooter how do I alter the object angle?

Actually I have figured it out simply rotating the object out of the animation editor seems to do the trick!

yeah make the images face to the right and then theyll face the origin line when imported.
