building rotation prob

[zheavy]

hello,

I am bit new to using the editor and i am having a problem with rotating all my buildings, i am making a custom map with custom buildings here.
I know, it's in the gameplay constants(since this is the answer i found using search), and i have edited both building facing values and i have the custom box checked, is there something i missed that i also need to do?
I tried this on different maps and it won't work for me.

Regards.

You could use a trigger
Event - Generic Unit Event - A Unit Finishes Construction
Condition - Unit Type Comparision - Unit Type of Constructed Unit = (Unit You Want To Rotate)
Action - Unit - Make Unit Face Angle

That actually is wrong, you can't change a building facing that way, I have searched for that before and tried those, even tried your suggestion before i reply now and it didn't work.

Find the "is a building" checkbox in the unit tab and uncheck it. It should still act and be targeted as a building even if you uncheck this (I think)

act and be targeted as a building even if you uncheck this...

Yes this is true because there is also a "targeted as" field in the object editor, and that should allow it to be turned.
However if you use a triggered ability or something of the sort that has a unit group with a boolean condition "PickedUnit is a Structure = to false" it will be still added in that unit group. So be careful with this idea.

This isn't what i need actually, i don't want to rotate them just in the editor, i want all buildings to face a certain angle and it's made simple in the global constants and i am only asking why it isn't working and if there is something else i should do to make it work.

Regards.

You click on the building and press Ctrl + Click to place and they should all face there?

 

[zheavy]

No, that would only work for units not buildings, besides what i am trying here, there will be no buildings in the editor already fixed, everything will be built in game.

Anyway, i tried to change more with the gameplay constants, and it seems the building will only change 90/180/270 degrees from their original position, i even tried putting the numbers in radians which is a bit stupid but that also didn't work, i'm wondering is that how it's supposed to work? meaning can't i change them with more specific angles?

Regards.

that is how it is made for rotating buildings.
