How do I rotate a sprite around the center of the stage

when green flag clicked
go to x: (0) y: (0)
forever 
Turn 3 degrees left

That’s from the center of the stage not around it

You can do this two ways.

One way is to move your sprite off-center and use the script in post number 2:

when green flag clicked
go to x: (0) y: (0)
forever
turn cw (3) degrees
end

Or you can keep your sprite centered and use this script:

when green flag clicked
set [dist v] to [50]
forever
go to x: (0) y: (0)
turn cw (3) degrees
move (dist) steps
end

You can use this script I made to rotate around a point:

define rotate (deg) degrees around (x) (y)
go to x: (((((x position) - (x)) * ([cos v] of (deg))) + (((y position) - (y)) * ([sin v] of (deg)))) + (x)) y: (((((y position) - (y)) * ([cos v] of (deg))) - (((x position) - (x)) * ([sin v] of (deg)))) + (y))
turn cw (deg) degrees

Simply set (x, y) to (0, 0).

I hope this helps!

You can just make another costume and move the sprite to the edge of the costume space

It's not a script I know

The distance and offset changes that’s too many costumes

If u want to move around the center like orbiting around the center of screen.

the simplest way i can find is to just go into the costume menu
and move the costume sideways with arrow keys instead of having it centered in that crosshair thing

when green flag clicked
forever
turn cw (3) degrees
end

(((((y position) - (y)) * ( of (deg))) - (((x position) - (x)) * ( of (deg)))) + (y))
idk im looking at what u did cause it went off screen

This is another test, to make the y more visible
