Center Point

I have a sprite that points towards another sprite but it rotate around the hands, when i want it to rotate around the top of its head (we are looking down on it in the game). How would I change which point of the sprite it rotates around?

Center Point

To change the sprite's center point you can go to the Costume tab, then in the top right there is a square with a plus sign in it, click that and you'll see the crosshairs you can drag to the center point of your sprite. Once you have the point you want, click on the paintbrush or on the scripts tab to get off the center tool.

My student's have trouble getting off the center tool sometimes so that is our sequence.

Clones and sprites use the same set of costumes and it's the centre of the costume that matters for rotation.
