scale How to keep position of sprite after being scaled(mine keeps moving to left corner)

[gg.wilson]

Hey everyone hopefully this is worded ok and you are having a good day.

I currently have a playable character which can be moved around and collide with objects.

The issue i am having is once it has collided with a certain object i want the players character sprite to increase in size however when i do this using sprite.scale.setTo for some reason the position of the player sprite moves to 0,0. 

Apologise if that was not enough information i can provide more if needed.

Hello!

You can try setting the scale as below:

sprite.scale.x = 1.5; // Increases the X scale by 1.5x times.
sprite.scale.y = 2; // Increases the X scale by 2x times.

A similar use of this example is to "invert/mirror" the sprite, you just have to set the scale to -1.

If a sprite changes size (instantly), it can cause new collisions that move the sprite. But the scale change itself doesn't affect position.
