[GywGod133]

The default facing of a building is 270°

OVERVIEW

Easy way to adjust the facing of a building without using triggers

STEPS

Open your Object Editor Find the building you want to adjust the facing for Now, after you've selected the building you want, find the field: Stats - Is a Building If you find it, change it to false. Now, you can adjust the facing of the building however you'd like If you're done, just change the field Stats - Is a Building to true and you're done

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If you remove the building, the shadows will not be removed If you move the building, the facing of the building will reset to default

This is a.k.a trick for WE users. Also make tutorials with more texts. Small amount of texts are sick!

useful. But a rather annoying solution

I remember spinnaker showed a way to change building facing in-game, you should add it to this tutorial too.

I fixed the grammar. It is a simple trick, but it looks like no one else has really posted it as a tutorial, so approved.

He wanted to show a solution without using triggers.

However, yes - you can change building's facing and whatmore, with this add a "unit" behaviour when attacking -> tower facing/rotating when its target is moving.
Trick involves using SetUnitPosition native with differend face parameter. The coords need to be exact of given unit's x/y to prevent any complications.

Also add that when using Ctrl + Z with this (since only Terrain Editor is affected), the WE crashes.

Also note that the building will snap back to default angle if you move it after it is a building again (might also do so if you view properties).
