Facing speed problem.

[Vortigon]

Hi.

How to make an unit face instantly an angle ? (instantly = so fast that u can't see it..)

I need this for an unit, which is created and directed to the location I want.
the problem is that the default angle when you create this unit is always 0 (to the right) so it always take some time for the unit to face the location, and it is ugly -_-

any ideas? thanks.

• Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 180.00 degrees

specifiy what angle you want it to face

or if that doesn't work for some reason, use this right after you create the unit:

• Unit - Make (Triggering unit) face 180.00 over 0.00 seconds

none of these work.

edit: i guess it is because of the Turn speed of the unit, the maximun is 3, how to make it higher? any hacked editor?

DOUBLE edit: okay I just hold Shift and i can set whatever i want to the value.^^

for dummys you can use this

else you have to replace the unit

if you disabled movement of your unit you will have to search the tutorial section (there is some kind of hack with a disabled spellbock containing the ancient root ability)

Units created with triggers can just be created at the right angle. If GUI can not support this then you will have to use JASS. I can garuntee you that the create unit native does have a parameter for facing angle the unit should start with in degrees.

If a building trains the unit, then use its rally point to change the unit's spawn facing. The unit will always face the direction it has to move to get to the rally point.

Summoned units via standard abilities can not have altered faceing so will just have to suffer ugly rotation, sorry.

Or you could just send us the map so we can take a look because your problem seems so... what should I say? noobish? easy? can't understand what problem you may have with it? Oo

@D4RK G4ND4LF
How do you do the replace thing please?
The angle of my dummy is gonna change each time a ~0.05 timer is called so I dont think this will work.

@Dr Super Good "Units created with triggers can just be created at the right angle" yes, but they cannot face instantly the angle.



Edit: oh sorry im so dumb, the CreateUnit function can make it face instantly... I never test everything.
thanks all.

Then tell us how do you want to use it? Because when you create units YOU CAN SET THE (FACING)ANGLE BY 0.01°
