Can't rotate buildings without replacing them

[Pinzu]

Method 1 works, but method 2 for some reason doesn't, you can't rotate buildings or whats up?

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit u = gg_unit_hhou_0006
    local real x = GetUnitX(u)
    local real y = GetUnitY(u)
  
    call BJDebugMsg("Rotate")
  
    // Method 1
    //call RemoveUnit(u)
    //set u = CreateUnit(Player(0), 'hhou', x, y, 0)
  
    // Method 2
    call SetUnitPosition(u, x, y)
    call SetUnitFacing(u, 0)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_001 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, 5 )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_001_Actions )
endfunction

I'm pretty sure that SetUnitFacing doesn't actually force the unit to face a certain direction, it just orders the unit to face that direction. You can test this by calling it on an ordinary unit. It won't turn instantly, it will turn there over time. This is independent of the unit's turn speed. However, since a building cannot turn by itself, it just doesn't work.

I haven't really read this, but https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/tower-turning-tutorial.33448. There are certain buildings that CAN turn, the night elf ancients. So maybe you can add root to your building, and it will turn.

Thank you. It solves one problem but creates another in my case. The building has a invisible platform placed under it when it's created. This doesn't effect the building normally but with this rotation trick the building flies over the ground.

I'll just stick with the replacing option.

    local unit u = gg_unit_hhou_0006
    local real x = GetUnitX(u)
    local real y = GetUnitY(u)
    local destructable d
    call RemoveUnit(u)
    set u = CreateUnit(Player(0), 'hhou', x, y, 0.)
    set d = CreateDestructable('B003', x, y, 0, 1., 0)
