  Multiply your y constrain sin function with -1

  And set self attribute "start pos y" to zero

  @johnnymagne for some reason i swore i tried that multiple times and it wasnt working before, but i just did now and it might have been an issue with where i placed it in the formula.

  Thanks!

  Beaten to the punch by @johnnymagne !

  There are a couple of other ways you could have done it, for example simply changing your 'counter' default value to 180 would do the trick . . . . as 'counter' is being multiplied by 'speed' and 'speed' is set to 3 . . . . therefore 180 * 3 is 540, which is 180° out of phase with 0°.

  Hope that made sense !! Basically you have an actor moving through a deformed circle and you want that movement to start at 180° rather than 0°, so just add 180° to the angle value that cos/sin are operating on . . . you can add in those extra 180 degrees wherever you want . . . besides simply adding them to the 'counter' default value another place you could add them would be here . . .

  cos(self.counter*self.speed x+180)*self.pixels x+self.start pos x

  . . or here . . .

  cos(180+self.counter*self.speed x)*self.pixels x+self.start pos x

  . . . etc etc
