[SOLVED] Centering a Rotating Background

[illuminate001]

Hey all,

So my games default resolution is 1920 x 1080. I made an entire background that's supposed to rotate behind the sprite and it's dimensions are 2500 x 2200.

It's so much larger on purpose so that while it spins, no one will see any edges. I can get it to spin, but the placement is crazy and completely off center. How can I get this image to be in the center of a 1920 x 1080 screen, and how can I ensure it rotates from it's OWN center?

This is the code I have so far:

I define the background:

Code: Select all

image bg Bus001 = "Bus001.jpg"

I define the transformation:

Code: Select all

transform forward_spin:
        subpixel True
        rotate 0
        linear 60.0 rotate 360
        repeat

Use the image with the transformation

Code: Select all

            scene bg Bus001 at forward_spin
            with flashbulb

I'd appreciate some help

Try:

Code: Select all

transform forward_spin:
    subpixel True
    rotate 0 xanchor 0.5 yanchor 0.5
    linear 60.0 rotate 360
    repeat

Hi Divona!

Yes thank you that basically worked.

However I had to fudge with the numbers to get it just right. I'm not sure why it works now, or how the numbers really affect it all, but here's the code if it helps others:

Code: Select all

transform forward_spin:
        subpixel True
        rotate 0 xanchor 0.21 yanchor 0.345
        linear 60.0 rotate 360
        repeat
