Rotate a gate?

[Windu]

I am searching for a way to rotate a building (or at least a unit with pathing and unmvovable.)
It's a gate and I need it to be able to face many angels, not only 270.

Any idea how to rotate it by casting the ability "Rotate [based on channel - no target]"

+Rep for help.

Set the building default facing angle in gameplay constant to -1
Then set the building facing angle to -1
After that using trigger unit-make unit face angle
But i cant guarantee that the unit still can walk after the gate is destroyed or opened,
I better using 4 gates and replacing each other if i want to change it's direction rather than make the building to face some angle

 

[Windu]

Ok, the gamplay constant is set to -1.
The trigger is just like unit - make unit face angle

But where do I "Then set the building facing angle to -1" do that ? There is no such thing in the obejct editor :?

I think u my create 4 gates in 4 fixed rotations - 0, 45, 90, 135 or 180, 225, 270, 315.
It may solve your problem?

 

[Windu]

Yes, that may solve it, but they still have to be rotated somehow. Because buildings don't usually rotate. I need to find the way to rotate a given building.

Base your gate off of the tinker factory, then use a set rotation trigger.

 

[rysnt11]

sorry, i forgot, the art - fixed rotation is only for destructible,
But i have another suggestion
Why didn't you use the destructible gate?
to rotate simply replace it, beacuse if you rotate it neither building nor destructible have their appropiate pathing texture, so if we say, your gate has 45 degrees gate path texture, then you rotate it to 90 degrees, then the pathing texture will stay at 45 degrees'
So make another gate is the only way

Why so long trigger, wasn't there any math function to easier your work?
You should try to learn to play with variables a little

Then show me for example how may it look like pls :/

What about?

• Set Rotation = Set Rotation + 45
• Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Position of (Triggering unit)), facing Rotation degrees

Because degrees use periodic functions you don't need anything else
Example:
810 = 720 + 90 = 2x360 + 90 = 90 degrees

OMG LOL I'm dump
(I already know all this, but it seems I need more practice to use it always when its possible :/)

Thanks for spending some time

(Position of (Triggering unit)) leaks heavily in these triggers, you will need to use Custom script to memory-manage the game. See http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/

Yeah leaks are problem
Sorry I should mention that as well, I was just thinking about math
