How do I change the pivot point while rotating?

SongSmith

I have just set up that my gun arm moves to the last position that was shot at which I am happy with but the only thing that is letting me down is the point of rotation is in the middle of the actor is there any way I change that to the shoulder?
Thanks and just want to say I love gamesalad such a good tool and so many good guys out there willing to help out.

Hi @SongSmith

The following link contains an answer from the excellent @RThurman to the question similar to yours.

If you want a simpler way, not involving any extra rules, then remake your arm graphic with added transparent shape the same length as the arm, from the top of it..... that's not a very good explanation, I'll try again.... let's pretend you're starting from the beginining of the arm graphic:

Make a graphics file twice as long as the length of the arm. Place the arm in the second half of the rectangle, the other half being transparent; and that'll then rotate from the centre point as normal in GSC and the arm will move properly.
