The rotation
In one of hte old versions, the shift+mousewheel allowed you to rotate tokens and there was talk of being able to rotate on a specific point in the future. I have noticed that tokens no longer rotate with the shift+mouse wheel, it only sets the facing now. Also I am curious if we can rotate on one point yet.

The arrow is indicative of the token type. Double click your token and change the type to Top Down, and it will rotate instead of use the arrow.
Rotating on a point is actually on my short list. I want to make doors spin on their axis. It will also make tokens that are 1x2 cells rotate on cell corners and not get messed up.
Stay Tuned !

I apologize for the terseness, I had a baby in one hand, typing with the other, hurrying to get ready for work.trevor wrote:the point is that you can set the point wherever you want.
Specifically you'll be able to put the anchor anywhere on the token you like. However I could imagine that snap-points could be defined. Have to figure out a generic way to determine where those are, but center points within grid cells within the token would work for the hex tokens.

Reminding me increases the likelihood of implementation. I was actually starting to wonder where the hexers had gonePhergus wrote:No worries. I knew you planned on supporting arbitrary rotation points. Just wanted to keep the hexness in the forefront during the first implementation.

More often caled 'registration points' in 3D software and in Macromedia's Flash, the typical place to have an object rotate 'around' is the middle, as this wonderful program does. I was dismayed to discover I couldn't change it to a corner (For rectangular shaped objects, like doors) to make a rotation look.. right. I am pleased to hear it's a feature to potentially impliment.
