Question with units

[FriXionX]

I cant explain, its kind of a big question. How would you make a unit face downwards? Like... its feet towards the sky... and its head facing the floor. And how would you make a unit lie on its side, like its dead? (but without playing its death animation) is it possible?

How would you make a unit face downwards?

Make a dummy unit and implement this function:

• Animation - Lock <Your Unit's> Head to face <Dummy>, offset by (<X>, <Y>, <Z>)

Set every offset by 0.00 and create dummy very close.

Look screenshot:

Peasant is ''Dummy'' unit created close to unit.

And how would you make a unit lie on its side, like its dead? (but without playing its death animation)

Just set ''Roll Angle'' to -1.57 and height to 50.

Thx, your the best +rep

edit: damn, must spread some around

is there a way to change the roll angle through triggers, not the object editor?
(sorry for double post, i just want this to get bumped aswell - for the people that think this is solved already to see that its not)

"Art - Maximum Pitch Angle (Degrees)" set it to "-270" (for lying in the back). Just change the unit's flying height a bit, so that it doesn't look sinked in the ground.

I don't think that it is possible to change Pitch/Roll angle via triggers.

To make him lie on back, set ''Pitch Angle'' to -4.70.

"Art - Maximum Pitch Angle (Degrees)" set it to "-270".

Actually, value of Pitch/Roll angle has to be in Radians.

Thx guys, favouriting this for future use aswell xD
