2D Units? (Soldiers)

[Vortigon]

Hi workshopers,

Any idea how to make an unit rotate with triggers? I can't really explain this because of my bad english, but I want my units to look like Riflemans in Soldiers

In fact, I want my unit to be like that (Right screen)

You want ur unit to walk on walls basicly?

 

[Vortigon]

Yes ^^

I assume there's a custom camera involved, also an trigger which basically drags the unit down (south) to the map, and if there's an wall (cliff) it won't move it.

1 - Remove the Shadow of the unit

2 - Change the Prop angle to your fitting in ( - ) ... " Press Shift to customize it in ( - ) while pressing the Prop angle .. this Shift key will let you access the ( - ) values "

3 - Make the unit scale more less

Now it should work ...

Ya forgot . make the color more toned down .. so it looks shitty like soldiers lol

I can't figure out why you want it that way :S

 

[Adiktuz]

you can rotate in in WE or use SetUnitFacing...

 

[Vortigon]

Thanks, yea very shitty

my solution: Change the Prop angle to a negative value (-270 for me) by holding Shift.

View the unit with the Object Editor and find:
Art - Maximum Pitch Angle
Art - Maximum Roll Angle

I did an 2D engine, you can check it here.

The wisp is symmetrical in all 3 axes. A rifleman(or any other unit) is not.

The wisp is not symmetrical in any of the axes.
However, in this case it does not matter.

You have to set the pitch angle of the unit to make it look to a site when you view from top.

The wisp is basically a ball. The details look different up close, but ingame, there is little difference.
