question about turning units arround

[alexmantor]

well I send a worker to build a barrack, but how I make that barrack spawn in the facing angle I want?. How I do it via trigger?

The make unit face point maybe?

 

[alexmantor]

sorry I dont get it... By the way I can make a unit face the angle I want, but I dont know about a unit that is getting builded

You can't choose which angle you want it to face during placement. You can, however, change the direction of ALL buildings under Gameplay Constants > Building Facing Angle (degrees) > 270.00. It's the sixth option down from the top. Someone should provide extra information about this; it may be able to done with triggers. However, I have had no such success with that.

Use this function when a building enters playable map area:

function SetImmovableUnitFacing takes unit u, real a returns nothing
    call SetUnitPosition(u, GetUnitX(u), GetUnitY(u))
    call SetUnitFacing(u, a)
endfunction

EDIT: It doesn't seem to work, propably due to the animation. But this works:

• Untitled Trigger 077 Copy Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set u = (Constructed structure)
    • Custom script: call SetUnitPosition(udg_u, GetUnitX(udg_u), GetUnitY(udg_u))
    • Custom script: call SetUnitFacing(udg_u, 135)
