Move along path

[pi3rc3]

I am making a sidescroller but isntead of having flat ground, the terrain is hilly. my question is how would i make it so the char will only go along a set path and will kind of rotate him when he starts walking up or down a hill? any tutorials that teach somethign similar to this woudl help, thanks.

I've said this to alot of people whom want to know similar things- "Search". I wrote a tutorial on platformer games (actually, I wrote 2), and it explains the whole collision detection stuff.

well you see the thing is i dont really think collision detection is the way to go, rather i feel it would be better if the char was connected to a path that he just moved along, i just feel that would be alot more effiecent.
