change angle of/turn buildings

[DrunkenMonkey]

Hey guys, i made buildable player-owned doors (so they are buildings). Worked good but my problem is that the model of the door is only horizontal. The vertical door destructible uses a value in the object editor "destructible"-category to change the angle of the model and the ground collision path so its vertical. I havent found any option in the unit editor so actually my problem is i don't know how to turn/change the angle of the door (or a building in general).

Use Art - Fixed Rotation -> -1. If it still doesn't work, get a destructible that already has the rotation to -1 (-1 enables changing the angle to whatever), e.g. Barricades. In order to make it horizontal, the fixed rotation equals to 270.00, the vertical to 0.00.

i know, but the problem is that the door now is a unit/building and the unit editor has no Fixed Rotation value...

For the unit, just go to the Object Editor and Stats - Is a building and temporarily set it to False. Then, go back to the World Editor and by holding down the Ctrl, move your mouse towards the angle you want the unit to face. Afterwards, go back to the Object Editor and set Stats - Is a building -> True. All done ^_^

yes that works.. but just for doors in the editor^^ but i want a worker to build them so that wont work, because i need two buildings: a horizontal door "-" and a vertical version "|", so when u can choose the build location it allready should be in this angle: |
if you know what i mean^^

-make a spellbook
-add the "root" ability of the nightelf buildings to the spellbook
-disable the spellbock at map ini for all players so noone can see it

now your building can turn around

(but if it attacks it will turn into that direction)

well, so i guess turning the door model by 90 degrees with a model editor and import it would be the easiest way to get what i want...

yup! thats norm what i do, i also rename the "Death Alternate" animation to "Stand Alternate"
