How to change rotation of a building?

[stan0033]

Is there a way to change the rotation of a building without making it into a unit or using a dummy that switches selection?

Making a building a unit, changing its rotation and changing it back to a building doesn't work, because after awhile it changes back to default building rotation

IIRC there's a gameplay constant that defines default rotation building, if you want all of them to have that change, I think that's the easiest solution

 

[stan0033]

I want each to have different rotation

 

[Chaosium]

Oh, then I don't know, apart from changing the model itself but that may add quite some weight into your map

Maybe you could try using a dummy, but instead of switching selections, the building has no model, but ubersplat then the dummy is above it and is unselectable, so you always select the building when you try to select the dummy.

You need to remove the building, and recreate it with a different facing angle.

If for whatever reason Wrda's solution is unacceptable.... you could make it as a unit by default, face it whatever direction you want in the Editor, and then Chaos/Reverse-Bear-Form morph it into a building version of itself on map init.

You could also alter the model to make the whole thing a faceable bone.

Wouldn't it become with default rotation?

I have no idea. It would have taken about that amount of time to test.

I found that it also works with creating the building with triggers if you use a diferent rotation than the default.
