A question about sprite rotation in GM

Is it possible to make a sprite rotate on a fixed point? If so, how?
Thank you to anyone who helps :]

It really depends where you want it, for setting where you want it, edit the x and y origins. (I presume you mean using the image_angle code?)

okay, let me get more in-depth;
I want a sprite that is 16x24 pixels to rotate following the mouse in a 360^o style with the fixed pixel to be at (13,3). I'm not too sure how to do this, but the command you mentioned (image_angle) certainly came to mind.

set the x origin to 8 and the y origin to 12, if you use the image_angle code it will spin on the spot.

Turns out, there's this nifty function called point_direction, which basically sets the angle from one point to another.

Make this code in your object's step event.

May have to tweak around with it a little (I had to), but that's the closest thing I could find.
