[Trigger] Rotate Target 45 degrees

[mastermike707]

I am in the process of making a map where the player designs an area using doodads that have become purchasable units. However, I want the "doodads" to be rotational by the player.

Currently my trigger looks like this:
Event-A unit Finishes casting an Ability
Condition-Ability being cast Equal to Rotate Target
Actions
-Set angle = 45.00+(Facing of (Target of ability being cast))
-Unit - Make (Target unit of ability being cast) face angle over .1 seconds

----
However, when I use the ability, the trigger executes but the unit isn't rotated and the "angle" variable never changes into anything other than 45.00.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a property I need to change on the target? Should I be basing the ability off of a certain spell?
Any help would be appreciated.
Also, if you have a different or possibly better way to do this, I am definitely willing to ditch this approach.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You should be using A Unit Starts the Effect of an Ability.

There is no (Targeted Unit of Ability Being Cast) on A Unit Finishes Casting an Ability.

Ok, that almost works, except it requires the unit to have movement... and I don't want these objects moving
Is it even possible to turn units that have no movement?

Edit: I now remove the target unit from the game and then add it back at the new angle and that works.

If they don't need to be able to do anything, give them 1 movement speed and pause them when they're created.

I thought units with movementspeed 1 still can move.. slow but they can.
I once tested this in a map

That's why you pause them.

Sorry for bumping.

I just wanted to say that I'm personally using this;

Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Rotate

Actions
Unit - Move (Casting unit) instantly to (Position of (Casting unit)), facing (45.00 + (Facing of (Casting unit))) degrees

Just for further views of this thread.

That leaks and is pointless anyways.

function SetUnitPositionLocFacingBJ takes unit whichUnit, location loc, real facing returns nothing
    call SetUnitPositionLoc(whichUnit, loc)
    call SetUnitFacing(whichUnit, facing)
endfunction
