How to make a sprite move from end and not center

I am new to scratch and am trying to make a game. I have a tank that is suppose to
shoot antiaircraft shells. I have the tank as one stationary sprite and the barrel as a sprite that I want to point towards the mouse. It is pointing towards the mouse but
is rotating on the center. That is pulling it from the tank body. I need it to rotate
from the end that is connected to the tank. How do I do that and can you include the code? Thanks.

There is no "code" really.  Go to the barrel's "costumes", click "edit", and click "set costume center".  That is the point it will rotate around.  You can just drag it to the end of the barrel.  Easy as pie  smile
