[Request] Rotate Tilemap object: is it doable?

Ashley

Hey I was wondering if there was any plan to make the image point of tilemap object editable, or at least to be able to center it like on the text objects. And combined with that, would it be possible to rotate the whole tilemap object like any sprite? I tried pinning the tilemap object to a dummy sprite and rotate it but it does not work.

I managed to implement it with regular sprites, the old fashion way, where each sprite represents a cell and pinning them to a dummy sprite and rotate that one, but it would be much easier and more optimized if it was possible with tilemaps

I too would like to know this

You should treat a tilemap as if it were a layer.

Put the TileMap on a separate Layer and rotate that layer

There's also a plugin called "Tiled Sprite" i believe that combines the best of animated sprites with tiled backgrounds, including rotating, and more importantly, animation.

Here's the download link (page 5)
