8Directions movement in relation to screen instead layer

Hei there!

I am playing with C2 to create a small top-down shooter/rpg.

Nothing serious, just for fun.

Now I would like to accomplish this: to move my player (8Directions movement right now) in relation to the screen instead of the layer.

So, I would like to be able to rotate the layer, but still be able to move my player up/down/left/right on the screen.

Right now, when I rotate my game-layer by 45°, the player would move diagonal on the screen.

I don't have a clue how to start to manipulate the 8Directions movement.

Do you guys have any advice or idea?

Here, try this:

Nah does not give me a clue.

See at this picture.

The blue lines show the original movement, which is horizontal/vertical to the layout.

I would like to be able to move horizontal/vertical to the screen, even if the layout rotates.

You could keep the player on a layer that doesn't rotate.

Hm, didn't think about that.

Then I would have to rotate all layers, exept the players layer.

Or maybe just the player layer and the layout as a whole. I'll try that!

Thanks for the idea.
