How to change the default sprite origin location?

[LaunchPad]

So i was trying to find a way on how to change the default sprite's origin location after u make a sprite. So for example after i make a new sprite i want its origin to be top left as a default. So how do i do it?

You can change the origin of the sprite in the sprite editor.

If you are looking to change it in game while the game is running try.

sprite_set_offset(ind, xoff, yoff);

Argument - Description

• ind - The index of the sprite to change the offset of.
  
• xoff - The x position of the origin.
  
• yoff - The y position of the origin.

Example:

sprite_assign(spr_Custom, spr_Base);
var xo=sprite_get_xoffset(spr_Base);
var yo=sprite_get_yoffset(spr_Base);
sprite_set_offset(spr_Custom, xo, yo);

The above code assigns the sprite indexed in "spr_Base" to the sprite indexed in "spr_Custom" and then uses the x and y offset values of "spr_Base" to set the new sprite's origin.

he just wanted to change default settings but you provided a totally irrelevant answer. why?

I supplied both ways to change the origin. One in the editor and one using script.

Plus, this secondary way of changing the sprite origin is exactly what I was looking for. For once google was helpful. xp
