Platform sprite on rotated background

Hi,

I have the following:

• Sprite, platformer
• Tiled Background, solid

Problem is, if I rotate the tiled background (they act as platforms). The sprite does not rotate to that angle when walking along the platform.

I thought about finding the UID of the background at y-5 from the sprite and then rotating it to the same angle of the background. However, I can't find anything for "Find UID at Point".

What are some other ways of solving this problem?

I've uploaded a simple diagram:

You can pick the platform beneath the object with Object -> Is overlapping at offset (0,1). Then set the object's angle to the platform's angle.

It's a bit quirky though, and you'll find yourself running into a lot of instances that require workarounds. You also have to be very careful about what angles you set your platforms to. I had this same functionality in an earlier version of my current project and eventually scrapped it because there was so much fiddling required.

Thanks GeometriX. Just wondering, is there any way to find the UID of the object that is being overlapped? I use one object for the platform by just using new instances.

The exact instance of the floor object has already been picked ("found") in the event I described, so at any point in that event you refer to the floor object (such as by UID, or in an expression), you're referring to that instance.

Thanks, it worked perfectly!
