Is it at all possible to rotate the camera?

I'm trying to do something like the top down levels in contra 3, but I cant get the camera to rotate at a point. I played around with the rotating platformer thing, but didn't come up with anything usable.

I assume you mean you have set up a Camera object with a Scroll to behavior?

if so then something like:

System every tick

set layout.angle : camera.angle

might work for you.

If you manipulate the camera object angle now the layout rotation will follow..

of course this will also affect GUI overlay layers as well so you may want to just rotate certain layers instead of the entire layout.

hope that helps

it worked, thanks man. I've been on and off prototyping with this for months trying to get it to work.

Thanks for the info! I hadn't thought of solving it this way!!
