I have box sprite which is 400px by 400 px, how do get it to rotate anti-clockwise using a timer, being struggling with it for hours.

any help appreciated

[thegame]

if(!timer) {

  image_angle = (image_angle + 1) mod 360

  timer = TIME;

}

timer -= 1;

if(!timer) {
  image_angle = (image_angle + 1) mod 360
  timer = TIME;
}
timer -= 1;

Thanks, Does it have to been in a create event?,

[thegame]

It goes in the step event.

Edit: but put timer = TIME in the create event

Thanks, I manage to get it working, but how do you get in to rotate in the center, instead of pivot point and change speed as well? Thanks in advance

To rotate it in the center, you have to change the sprite's origin.
As for changing speed...

if(!timer) {
  image_angle = (image_angle + 1 /* Replace this 1 with a higher number or lower the amount of time to make it faster, for slower do the opposite */) mod 360
  timer = TIME;
}
timer -= 1;

Just so you know, this should be on the Novice and Intermediate forum... not the Advanced one... Have you read the GMC rules? It also says a few things about not double posting...

Hi, raphael1, welcome to the GMC forums!

As thegame pointed out, this topic should have been posted in the Novice and Intermediate Users forum, which is were I have moved it. Also, if you find your self wanting to post twice in row, please edit your previous post rather than "bumping" your topic. We have very specific rules about that. Take some time to look over the Rules forum and the rules of any specific forum in which you wish to post.
