Texture button and rotation point

Question

Hi,
for splash screen of my game I have to animate some texture buttons.
Is there any way to change the rotation point (as for sprites by pressing the "V" key) ?
Thanks

Hi Jospic.
When you say "Rotation point", you mean the origin of the rotation right?
If it's the case, you need to place a Node2D where you want your origin point of rotation and attach your TextureButton in this Node2D.

Node2D
-> TextureButton1
-> TextureButton2 ...

With this, you can move around your Node2D (and everything attached to it) to change where your rotation start with

func _ready():
     set_process_input(true)

func _input(event):
     if(event.type == InputEvent.KEY):
      if(event.scancode == KEY_V) && (event.pressed):
               ## Everytime you gonna press V, the rotation will add +0.5 to the current rot position, you can change it to make it smoother or faster.
               get_node("Node2D").set_rot(get_node("Node2D").get_rot()+0.5)

If you want to change the location of your rotation origin, just move around the Node2D like this (the movement won't be smoother with this method):

get_node("Node2D").set_pos( Vector2(x, y) )

Don't know if it's what you would like, but eh.

Thaks for reply.
Sorry, my English is not very refined.
To "rotation point" I wanted to say the "center of rotation".
By default sprite rotates around its texture center. With the "v" key , Godot allows you to change the center and move it within the domain of the sprite.
I would like to know if there is also a way to change it for the texture button.
