rotate building

[Beau]

how do you change the angle (degrese) of a building?

Read this: Tower Turning Tutorial.
Do what it states is needed to be done and add a simple trigger:

• TowerAngled
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set DesiredAngle = 315.00
    • Set TheTower = (Constructed structure)
    • Unit - Make TheTower face DesiredAngle over 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Set TheTower movement speed to 0.00

First of all, i don't know whether will it work or not ^^ it's plainly theoretical. If it doeas not, you might try to change minimum unit speed constant to 0 and if it doesn't help add a wait between action making the tower obtain an angle and making it freeze (setting it's movement speed from 1.00 to 0.00).​

Advanced > Gameplay Constants > Building Facing Angle/Building Facing Angle, Rooted

works to

 

[Dagguh]

Advanced > Gameplay Constants > Building Facing Angle/Building Facing Angle, Rooted

works to

It works for global settings. It isn't helping if you want to have more than two possible angles.​

In the WE:

Make the building unit
Place and rotate it
Make it building again

It will keep its rotation

Alright Ciebron, you forced me to prove you wrong. Here you have a test map.

And Martin: it only works for towers placed in the editor, not newly spawned ones.​

 

[Ciebron]

well that way it work but it has flaws... like if the building attack the whole building turn

Here is THE EASIEST WAY!!!first of all you place it where you want then close the unit section and double click the building and look at the tabs

Place the building down then change it to a unit, rotate then check the box that says "is a building" and it will keep its rotation.

Already suggested by Martin and proven to work only for preset units.

Ciebron: yes, you are right, but on the other hand you can use triggers to keep towers returning to their angle after fight. Also note that the problem exists only for towers. Buildings without an attack (in this case you have to change allowed targets to none, because our roots ability is enabling attack 1) keep their angle all the time.

I agree that there is no perfect solution, but the root one surely has more applications (is more universal).​

Thanks!

Thanks for the help everyone
