Hello everyone,

i don’t understand why after scaling a sprite the rectangle that is supposed to be drawn at the same position,scale of the sprite is somehow “off” the way, here is two images that explain my problem:

sprite scale = 1

sprite scale = 0.5

and this is how am setting up the rectangle :

// set get rectangle ;
	public void setRect() {
		Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();

		//change the rectangle size to match the sprite 
		rect.width = sprite.getWidth()*scale;
		rect.height = sprite.getHeight()*scale;
		rect.x = sprite.getX();
		rect.y = sprite.getY();

		this.rectangle = rect;
	}

thank you
