I am trying to make a game for the Xmas compo but i am having a problem with repositioning an object.
The main level is rotated and an object needs to keep it's relative position. i have got the rotation down but i cannot work out the placement of the object.
I have a feeling that its a cos sin formula i need but i cannot get it to work

I have a feeling we're going to need a bit more detail than that.

Thought as much 
Don't want to reveal too much info on the game yet though so....
See if this makes sense:
There is a ball in the top left hand corner of a box. The player presses right and the box rotates right. At the same time the ball would normally stay in it's current position i need the ball to follow the box around on it's rotation path. so the top left hand corner would become the top right hand corner.

Is the box an active object? Are there any other objects? Are you rotating around the hot spot?

The box is one big active object. Its action point and hot spot are in the middle. The box is rotated around these points until it reaches a 90 degrees difference. The only other object is the ball. I could upload an mfa but again i don't want to give away too much.

I know you don't want to give much away, but I think you're going to have to tell us a bit more than you have so far...
Do you mean something like this?

It does basically what you want, but there's a bug and I'm not sure how to fix it

I think i have fixed the bug. it was related to the ball getting stuck in the walls no?

I think the problem is being caused by the rotation being out by 1 or 2 pixels (possibly due to the limited precision), and I may have a solution...
+ Rotation("Level") = 0
+ Only one action when event loops
-> Ball: Set X position to X("Ball")/CellWidth*CellWidth
-> Ball: Set Y position to Y("Ball")/CellHeight*CellHeight
That should snap the ball perfectly to a grid cell after the rotation.
Just make sure the level object is perfectly aligned to the grid itself.
I'll try and fix the example to show you...
EDIT:
Just saw your post - Yes, that's the bug I was talking about. If you've fixed it, I won't bother trying any more (I was ready to give up for tonight anyway).

I think you're going to need to use detectors, and just push the ball out of the walls
