DonDustin: nice model and THW really lacks tower models

 

[Malcous]

Very nice model =)

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

Looks quite a bit cooler than the generic towers. And a 12 KB file size? Who could complain?

 

[AIagremm]

Amazing! Awesome for humans!

The cannon rotates to face the enemy during attack.

is there a way to make the model retain it's position no matter how is facing ingame?
like.. to not turn to the place it faces.

Hmm I hope I understood your question correctly...

Building models always retain their position and facing angle in-game. Only the specific parts of the model (the parts that are assigned to the bone "Bone_Turret" or one of it's child nodes) will actually rotate to face the enemy during attack.

If you don't want any part of a model to face the enemy, you must simply rename the "Bone_Turret" bone to something else.

And for that you need to open the model into an editor...

Nice model !

what i wanted is to know if i can make the unit model un-rotate-able
so that it stays at one rotation, no matter how the "unit" might be facing.

(to explain better, i want to get a model iike dragoon unit from StarCraft)

Ah now I get it.
I think that would be possible if you used the trigger

• Animation - Lock Unit's Chest to face Unit, offset by (0.00, -128.00, 90.00)

Note that the model should have the bone "Bone_Chest" for this to work.

It has to be Trigger-controlled? ;

 

[Mechanical Man]

You can billboard it, if that you wanted

 

[Zoltarian]

looks ncie remind me of wc2 cannon tower

billboarding the whole model makes it face the camera, so it might suddenly find itself upside-down and walking Ouo
