[General] Rotate Buildings

[nafre]

Hi, can someone please help me. I would like to rotate a gate in my game. I am using the original warcraft Demonic Gate model and as a base unit i'm using the Barracks(Using the castle Pathing). Its original position when you use the model is horizontal, i want to make it vertical. Please help.

You could edit the model so that it faces vertically by default, but that's a waste of memory. You could remove the unit and create a new unit of the same type but facing the required angle by triggers. You are able to specify unit facing in that specific action.

Can you tell me which trigger to use? I've tried the move and face angle trigger but its not working.

• Actions
  • Unit - Remove (Unit) from the game
  • Unit - Create 1 No unit-type for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing 90.00 degrees

You have to remove the unit and then recreate it again facing the desired angle. You cannot change a unit's facing otherwise.

Thx. That worked.

You may to a degree set a buildings facing with Unit - Make Unit Face Angle but it won't automatically render the new rotation. A way to force it would be to reposition it with Unit - Move but the structure has to be in the local player's camera view with the new value before doing so.
