Rotate with a set pivot point, and get rotation

[joelcnz]

SFML doesn't seem to have a pivot setting. I want to rotate a sprite from its centre.

Also, how do you do relative rotation on a sprite? Only one kind of rotation works - object.rotation(90);.

It does:

Relative rotations can be done with rotate()
(or setRotation() in conjunction with getRotation())

(click to show/hide)

sprite.setOrigin(sf::Vector2f(sprite.getLocalBounds().width, sprite.getLocalBounds().height) / 2.f); // rotate around the sprite's centre
sprite.rotate(10); // rotate 10 degrees from its current rotation
sprite.setRotation(sprite.getRotation() + 10); // also rotates 10 degrees from its current rotation

Thanks for the help with sprite origin for rotating.

These 2 below don't work for me (using D):
rotate(10);
sprite.setRotation(sprite.getRotation() + 90);

sprite.rotation(90); works instead of sprite.setRotation(90); for me.

Sorry. I didn't notice that this was posted in a D binding forum.

I didn't realise that the commands were that different:

I'm not sure how to get the current rotation but it looks like it might be something like:

sprite.rotation(sprite.rotation() + 10);

Thanks Hapax.  I should've known the rotation thing.
