Question

I have one CCSprite object. I start two actions. CCRotateBy, and CCScaleTo. I need to set different anchor points for these actions. How can i do that if mySprite.anchorPoint = ccp(0.5f,0);changes the anchor point for both animations?

Answer 1

Add your CCSprite as child of a CCNode. The CCNode will act as the additional anchorPoint.

Assuming you want to rotate the sprite around a center point in a circular motion, you would:

• offset the sprite from CCNode parent (radius)
• run the rotate action on the CCNode (sprite will rotate in circle around CCNode position)
• run scale action on CCSprite (adjust sprite’s anchorPoint as needed)

Depending on what exactly you need the setup will be slightly different, and I’m guessing not all variations are possible.
