How do i rotate some doodad upwards

[darkzxx]

uhh how do i rotate a doodad like the first one ?

 

[mckill2009]

there's something called pitch angle, HOLD SHIFT, then enter a negative number then hold shift again and press enter...

 

[darkzxx]

i can do it sometime but sometime not...

 

[Adiktuz]

i can do it sometime but sometime not...

I can do it always... you just need to find the correct angle...

 

[darkzxx]

huh ?

 

[Adiktuz]

huh ?

I mean you just need to find the correct pitch/roll angle to use to rotate doodads vertically (-90 rotates them 90 degrees vertically, I THINK -180 flips them)...

then you can also play with the facing angle to rotate them horizontally... if the default facing angle is -1, change it to 0, because -1 means you cannot change it on the terrain editor...

and be sure that your editor allows negative values (via the preferences), or else you cannot use the shift method to put - values...

oh i see let me try again
i can't find default facing angle
can you post a tutorial or make one for me.. ?

 

[darkzxx]

well i do need to make rotations like the first pic
and i can't find facing angle oh sorry i didn't read full post you meant fixed rotation

 

[Adiktuz]

and oh, you cannot edit the vertical flipping on the terrain editor (only the horizontal rotation can be edited on the terrain editor)... so for each vertical angle that you need, you need to create a new doodad...

the facing angle (fixed rotation) is on the upper portion of the object data... anyway, its just if you need to do horizontal rotations... (oh I typed it wrong, fixed angle should be set to -1... ^_^)

here's a test map with rotated thrones... another note, it looks awkward with the roll angle set to -90, try setting the roll angle to 0.00, it looks better...

(NOTE: you will not notice the rotation before you actually place it on the map, the doodad placer will still look like the default throne...)

yep thats what i want
specific instruction !?

yep thats what i want
specific instruction !?

look at the attached test map on my post above...

 

[darkzxx]

I know that,i tried what mckill has said on your map and 100% can't do it

 

[Adiktuz]

the throneflip doodad is already made to show how to do it... you cannot set the pitch to a negative value? (if yes, go to preferences and check allow negative values)

and as I said, the doodad placer will still look like the default doodad, but once you place the doodad it will have the new pitch...

and you cannot change the vertical flipping on the terrain editor...

 

[darkzxx]

no its not about the new pitch its about how i can't set negative values

 

[Adiktuz]

have you read my full post??? I had already said above:

go to preferences and check allow negative values

then do what mckill instructed...

HOLD SHIFT -> DOUBLE CLICK PITCH ANGLE -> RELEASE SHIFT -> ENTER NEGATIVE VALUE -> PRESS ENTER

 

[darkzxx]

i already setted it and can you go chat ? its pointless talking here,be waiting

just read my last post, I edited it for the right instructions...
