How do you give a unit Z facing?

[GoGoTauren]

I played a map, combat zone. You can fly planes around, and they have XY facing, as well as Z facing, XY being just the normal 0-360 degrees, and Z facing being kind of like the angle of attack on the game camera, if you catch my drift.

I was wondering how to replicate this for my map? I dont think there are any functions that handle Z facing for a unit...

You need to get the Dummy.mdx model that Vexorian or Anachron made and that has pitch rotations, then you need to add a custom script that sets its animation. Then, you will need to figure out what events trigger the ship's tilt on the z-axis and figure out what z-angle you want the plane to have, and use a looping trigger to execute it.

Or you could just look at the map script and see what he's using.

wow.. the map is unprotected still i cant understand any of the coding. Thanks, ill have to find the dummy model. Make a special effect on it i guess?

Yes, special efffect on the blank model is awesome. That's how most skilled missile-makers do dummies these days.
