Rotating an image in-place

[Bannana97]

I am not the best with math yet... and feel like I am cluttering the forums with posts now, lol. But I am having a problem and have tried a lot to fix it:

See the red box, between the terrain? That's where the character should also be. When the rectangle is up-right, it seems to correctly place the user's avatar.
However, it's when the rectangle isn't up-right / angled / that I have the problem. Here's the source.

Code: Select all

love.graphics.draw(uiImageFile, object.Body:getX()-math.ceil(part.Size.x / 2), object.Body:getY()-math.ceil(part.Size.y / 2), [b]math.pi * object.Body:getAngle()[/b])

I've tried a lot of different things, for example math.deg(body:getAngle()) and the such, but no luck. I want the avatar to remain in the box at all times, so what functions can I use? Thanks!

Have you tried not multiplying object.Body:getAngle() by anything?

Indeed, the image rotates around the box still. I want the avatar to remain upright in the box at all times.

Use the origin parameters:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.draw(
    uiImageFile,
    object.Body:getX(),
    object.Body:getY(), 
    object.Body:getAngle(),
    math.ceil(part.Size.x / 2),
    math.ceil(part.Size.y / 2)
)
