path_rotate

You can use this function to rotate a given path around its center. Remember that in GameMaker (unless you are using physics) the angles are calculated counter-clockwise, so rotating the path by 90 degrees would rotate the path to the left. This function changes the actual path resource, and so will permanently affect how the path is used by all instances in the game from the moment the function is used until the end of the game. If this is not what you require, then you should use a function like path_duplicate() to create a copy of the path first, then call this function on the duplicated asset (don't forget to call path_delete() on the asset when it is no longer required).

NOTE Once a path has been assigned to an instance using the path_start() function, you can use the path_orientation variable to change the path rotation too.

Syntax:

path_rotate(index, angle);

Returns:

N/A

Example:

path_rotate(pth_Patrol, 90);

This would rotate the given 90 degrees counterclockwise.
