Matching sprite rotation to image rotation

[Nobody Home]

 

I have an image which faces upwards. In my create() event, when I load it into a player sprite the image still points upwards but the player's rotation is at 0, i.e. pointing right. So there's a difference of 90 degrees between the sprite and the image.

 

In my create event, what's the best way to sync-up the player rotation and the image rotation so that the sprite faces up the screen too?

 

Thanks for advice - phaser noob but really enjoying it.

If setting the player.angle = 90 isn't giving you the desired result then you can add the player sprite by itself to a group after setting its angle. You can then apply rotations to that group.

Thank you squilibob, I'll give that a try.
