Projectile facing wrong way


Recommended Posts

Howdy. I need your help with projectile that is facing the wrong direction. It's artillery shell and I need its tip to be directed to the target. I have tried using

local function OnThrown(inst)
	inst.AnimState:SetOrientation(ANIM_ORIENTATION.OnGround)
	inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")
end

but it does not work. I have also looked into boomerang and blowdart and didn't find any clue. If someone approached the same problem in the past I will be grateful for your help.

This is likely a problem with your spriter file, as rotation using ANIM_ORIENTATION.OnGround means it'll rotate the spriter animation to match the entities rotation in the world.

The default direction for said sprites should be facing to the right perfectly in line with the x-axis
If you want it to rotate like a boomerang then it's part of the spriter animation which animates it to spin around the origin (center of the x and y axis)

I am assuming you are familiar with how pivot points work for symbols in a spriter file and how they translate to in game animations.
