  • Hi everyone.

    I'm not really sure if this should be here or if this is a bug/glitch related to the canvas plugin, but I have one canvas object with origin/image point located in the middle (I don't know how it got there, but it's good-I like it where it is).

    However, I cannot seem to figure out how to create a new image point and move it to the middle-right corner. The set origin and image point button is disabled. And when I create a new canvas object its origin is always set to top-left while the button to move it is still disabled. Is it even possible to move the image point/origin for a canvas type object? Many thanks!

    EDIT: I just checked the properties bar, I can set set initial hotspot but I want to make a new image point.

    If this is about a plugin, then I think Scirra has nothing to do with it. You should talk to the developer of the plugin.

  • Hi

    Thanks for the reply. I guess it is a plugin glitch then.

    It is the one made by

    It's not a glitch or bug, the plugin doesn't have imagepoints. I probably won't be adding them, but you could put an invisible sprite on top of it.

  • I see, thought about it right after I posted. Just had to confirm. Thanks!
