Tiled Map Loader / Tiled / Tile Map Viewport + 360 degree movement?

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    I have a 360 degree platformer (think sonic the hedgehog) which up till now; I have been using with a combination of backdrops and active objects.

    Using Tiled however, I can't get the collisions to work properly. Flat surfaces work, but slopes are a nightmare.

    Has anyone tried something similar and know if its a possible limitation using Tiled/Tile map loader/ Tile map viewport?

    I did try the PMO object just to check, and it does seem to be working fine (within PMO's limitations).

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Ah also before I forget, collisions with some existing active objects also stop working? As in, ones placed in clickteam's editor. I feel this might be an easy fix and I've overlooked something.

    One thing I have done for issues with collision detection is to make a round ball as the player ( Invisible ) and have your ( Visible Sonic ) as the cover. Then tie the animations from the cover to the Ball.
    This way, you get a round ball type of collisions ( Next to never has issues ) and you have whatever your player looks like, work beautifully in game.

    there's been 360 platform engines done in the past; the most accurate way is using sin/cos on 2 markers that are used to detect the angle of surface you are on.
    for the 360 part; you can split the movement into halves or quadrants;
    eg; moving on ground between 0-180; and moving on ground from 180-360 - 2 groups that is flipping the movement, still using slopes and angles tho for your character's gravity.

    Ah see, in response to both of you:- I am using sin/cos , and the player is also a round ball. The movement and the player work perfectly if I use normal backdrops or active objects as backdrops.
    The issue seems to happen when I load in tiles specifically from Tiled. From there for whatever reason, it refuses to behave the same way.

    I basically have two sets of events for collisions:- 1) One set is for normal backdrops/active objects that you manually place in clickteam fusion (which work perfectly)
    2) and the other set is an identical copy, but just tailored to identify collisions for tiles that have been loaded using RootKernel's TileMapLoader and Looki's TiledMapViewport.

    The issue is with the second lot. I'm not sure why they're not behaving the same way as the original group of events. I've done the usual setup with the extensions; and the tiles do load in, and the player collides with the flat tiles perfectly. As soon as there's a slope he just gets stuck. (Pixel detection is also on)
