GetWorldPoint()

I might have missed something here, but it looks as if getWorldPoint ignores the flip status of the object in question.

Lets say a 10x10 object is at the point (50, 0). The world point for (0 0) is just (50, 0), and the world point for (-1 0) is (45, 0), but if the object is flipped, the internal point *should* now be (55, 0).
It really depends how you want to look at it. Should internal points be considered flipped? I understand the logic for not doing it, but I understand the flip side (funny pun).

What about %obj.getWorldPoint("-1 0")?Lets say a 10x10 object is at the point (50, 0). The world point for (0 0) is just (50, 0), and the world point for (-1 0) is (45, 0), but if the object is flipped, the internal point *should* now be (55, 0).

Oh I see what you are saying. I wonder if flipx correctly flips the collision polygon and the position of linkpoints... if those are stored as object-space positions which are not flipped, that could be a problem.

It doesn't appear that they do.
