A cool feature for storyboarding would be that elements to move around a point. A pretty picture to explain the idea :


The pivot point wwould be linked (or not ?) to the object (or defining a new object type that would be pivot point and object can choose their pivot point ?)

Extra bonus ++ : Being able to make this pivot point move

I support this; it would be amazing if we were able to define the Pivot Point per object :>

@^ it could be like what i'm thinking

code like "_PP,320,250" which the Pivot Point is pointed at 320,250.. and it makes another branching like Triggers and Loops...

support~

You can set your reference point in the sprite introduction, and you can edit your image to add more space in the direction of your reference point.

That would work wonders.

Possibly creating a pivot "object" would be cool.

Declaration
Pivot,<name>,x,y

Usage
Sprite,Foreground,Centre,"object.png",320,240,<name>

That is a very abstract solution; It draws unnecessary pixels to the screen, causing more SB load.

Or something like that : 
Declaration
Pivot,<Name>,x,y

Usage
Sprite,Foreground,Centre,"object.png",320,240
 _PP,<name>,StartTime,EndTime,[rotationInformation]

So that the sprite could change Pivot point during time :D (rotation information would be depending of the way it is implemented :U)

Accepted, but this feature will take me a long time to implement and debug.

alternatively, support mathematical expressions/variables for sprite parameters eg
$positionX = 400;
$positionY = 300;

Sprite,"layer","origin","filepath",$positionX, $positionY
for (int i=0; i<90; i++) //or some other incrementor method
{
$positionX = 400 - sin(i);
$positionY = 300 - cos(i);
}

being able to assign a variable to a sprite's position rather than having to script a bunch of move commands would allow for users to create other things like that abstract 2D camera I've always wanted

Doesn't osq already do this?

@woc: it can be pretty easily implemented allowing the "Custom" origin type, but will take a bit more effort to add editor control for it.

For smallish sprites padding the image works fine as a temporary method.

I'd rather be able to set more than 3 values for acceleration.

The picture in the beginning is already possible in osu with MX and MY, though it may not be "perfect".
