[bug] add backdrop / paste background

[danjo]

when you paste to background or add backdrop, they are always pasted/added at ANGLE 0,
its quite annoying if you want a rotated object pasted.

does anyone know a workaround? cause im not holding my breath for this to be fixed - when quite simply it should have worked when MMF2 first introduced the angle stuff to the objects.

[LB]

Isn't this only in HWA?

EDIT: Nope, I just confirmed it in normal MMF2.

As for a workaround, you'll need to use active objects.

[danjo]

that IS the problem ricky. the active object angle is always pasted at angle Zero

and it is for both HWA and MMF2 versions.

[Skyhunter]

Use directions with the active you want to paste instead of angle.

[LB]

But then we're limited to only every 11.25 degrees... unless you mean using multiple animations' directions for every angle? And then HWA allows for 2 decimal places for a total of 36000 different possibilities!

i title this thread with [bug] cause it is one. yeah, i can set directions and paste (which is somewhat of a work around), but as LB pointed out we're limited, and in the case i was hoping for, was a much finer result, ie; 360 angles normally.
