Hi all,

I’ve been using the ‘arcade image transforms’ extension recently and one thing I’ve noticed is that when you attempt to change the image of a sprite it will change momentarily but the moment it is rotated again it will default back to the image assigned to the sprite at instantiation. (Demonstrated below in a gif)

Is anyone aware of a way around this without destroying the sprite and creating a new one with the new image?

There’s a very good chance that I’ve just missed something here. Any insight would be super appreciated.
