Instantly Turn Unit spell??

[protogenos]

Sorry to bother. I tried searching for an answer online, but it seemed others had the same problem making a unit instantly face a certain angle/facing by casting a spell.

It should be simple.. but it's not working. What happens the first time you click the spell the unit does not move. But the following times, it starts moving finely...

• CounterClockwise
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Turn Counter-Clockwise
  • Actions
    • Set TempUni1 = (Triggering unit)
    • Set TempRe1 = (Facing of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Move TempUni1 instantly to (Position of TempUni1), facing (TempRe1 + 90.00) degrees

I even tried adding this action, but it does not work:

• Unit - Move TempUni1 instantly to (Position of TempUni1), facing TempRe1 degrees

Any ideas?

So far there is no known way to make a unit face some point instantly, except making a bone face somewhere. This is only for the visual side though.

native SetUnitLookAt takes unit whichUnit, string whichBone, unit lookAtTarget, real offsetX, real offsetY, real offsetZ returns nothing

There is this too native SetUnitFacingTimed takes unit whichunit, real facingangle, real duration returns nothing

There is this too native SetUnitFacingTimed takes unit whichunit, real facingangle, real duration returns nothing

It can not be used to turn instantly though.

Even with 0 second :/ ?

Nope. It was first brought out by someone who made a dummy recycler. Then a model was created that is invisible and only has a head bone. That model can be used for dummies because it is possible to instantly turn a single bone at a time.

Ok thanks

 

[protogenos]

Thanks! Well it doesn't have to be instantaneous, but less than 0.5 seconds.

And dang it; I don't know JASS. Guess I'll try to teach myself.

 

[Malhorne]

You don't need to know JASS.
To use just one native do this :

• Custom script : call SetUnitLookAt( udg_var ... )

 

[Vinz]

Yes. Try to change the bone angles so it won't be seen that the unit is turning slow.

Actually, SetUnitFacing is not instant at all :/
There's no way we can do Instant Facing, because Wc3 only turns the chest and the head not the whole skeleton of a model.
