How do I get a sprite to move up hills/slopes?

Hi,

How do I get a sprite with the Platform behaviour to move up/down (or align with) hills and slopes, instead of just moving in a straight line?

I found a similar post which suggested using "Playerbox is overlapping platform > set playerskin angle to "platform.angle" but this didn't work.

For your slope had you rotated a rectangle or just changed the collision poly to be a slope? It sounds like that solution is based on the assumption that the slope is just a rotated version of your flat terrain.

A similar but slightly different solution is to store a "slopeAngle" variable on the instance, then use that to rotate the characters. I believe that is how the old sonic games worked. But it obviously requires you to go over each slope, figure out the angle and then store it in the instance.

Hi Neopeo,

The slopes/hills were added as separate sprite objects. Would the "slopeAngle" variable work in this instance? I'm still having a lot of difficulty getting instance variable to work properly.
