Rotating objects around a point

Anyone know where I've gone wrong? It rotates around a point properly. The problem is that point is always 0,0 of the frame, regardless of where I set the RelativeX and RelativeY variables.

Cheers

EDIT: Oh yeah, can anyone tell me what formula I need to change the object's angle too? Cheers

If you read through it you will get the answer to what you need

Thanks guys, that's a big help. And merry christmas to you, too :grin:

One last quick question. How do I get the angle to set relative to it's starting angle? Rather than now the angle is absolute - the objects will always be at the angle regarding to their position from the origin point. Which makes creating something like a 'room' impossible, as all the blocks go skewed.
...I'm not explaining this very well, huh? Here's a quick photoshop of what I want it to do:



Is this possible with the current system? Or am I going to have to do something entirely different?

you get small gaps between objects - this is due to the way MMF rotates images, so it's unavoidable.

I'll cope with small gaps

Thanks again, it's a great help n_n

The program crashes for me when I run it :P

But it looks good from the coding!

Yeah, same here.

Odd, works fine for me... using build 248 on Vista Ultimate. I'll reupload it. I've altered it just a little since I first downloaded it, but all the core code is still there
