Monorail Car is facing 90 off of what it should

[LazyCoder]

I'm trying to add movement to the monorail car, and the only problem I've run into so far is that the model is rotated 90 degrees from what it should be rotated. Ie, when it moves to the right, it faces downwards.

I've tried tinkering around with the data editor, but it doesn't seem to be having much effect.

Does anybody know how I can fix this? (preferably without having to edit the model itself.)

Include some screenshots, and maybe your map. That will help a lot.
(Try reading the "Read before posting" thread i made on the main Sc2 forum)

The monorail car faces 90 degrees away from what it should.

I hope the attached picture can shed some light on my problem. Speaking of light, if the glow effect isn't bright enough, just let me know.

Oh my god. What did you do D:?



EDIT: Why don't you try to use the "Face Angle" action? It could work.

All I did was create a unit for the monorail model. The model itself is facing the wrong way I believe.

Does face angle work if the thing is moving? It needs to be able to turn corners as well, so it can't just face a set angle.

Ideally, I just need to figure out how to add some kind of rotation offset to the unit/actor/model in the data editor.

Anybody? I've got the monorail car working perfectly... perfectly except for this!

In Warcraft 3 people were exporting models and editing them, afterward immporting the back but with changed rotation. In Starcraft 2... you have to find a value reponsible for facing dirrection and mess arround with it, else... else if there is no such value you'll be able to do it only the old way...

Try messing with turrets - for example, the mothership has a turret that makes it spin around, so perhaps you could make a turret that would make it face the right way? dunno.

Figured it out! I had to use an actor type called a Site Operation.
