how to make unit face only left or right?

[playdoughrevisited]

How would I go about making a unit face only left or right, yet still be free to move about?

The model would face left when the left key is pressed, and right when right is pressed...

I have used the code provided by Wimpycow in the youtube tutorial for my movement... Part 1 and Part 2.

I already have a rotated unit model, so I suppose this would involve possibly resetting the unit's facing angle every .04 seconds or such to either -90 or 90 degrees?

Set rotating speed to 0 in the Object Editor. If you want it to turn, you'll have to do that gradually by trigger.

try playing with this:

if you order a unit to play some animation and you never reset unit's animations again... some things happens, try it and see if that works... there is also a "lock body part facing" thingy but i dont think that action will fulfill your needs

about the angles it would be

<- 180 --and-- 0 ->

not 90 (up) and 270 (or -90 down)

@silk what about it? is that pertinent at all to this thread? oh, what about not going off topic?
how about just being helpful instead of proving to everyone that you're indiscriminately a moron, as i said in that "double post" that it was indeed a double post and asked a mod to take it down. i would've deleted it if i could. ass-hat...
