Share your custom sprites. Go on, show us how good you are with pixels. I dare you.

Hello, I have been messing around with mspaint to make a simple custom turret. However I have no idea how to make the custom turret turn on the axis I want. For those who have made turrets that turn properly care to enlighten us?

It all depends on how far your sprite is from it's border, on all four sides. The center of the "image" is the sprite's turning axis, but the "sprite" isn't necessarily centered. Arc's custom turrets, for example, have a one pixel border on one side, and a two pixel border on the other side, because the sprite's width has an odd number of pixels.

I hope that made sense...
