[Solved] rotating ingame

[median]

Hi, do someone know that how can i rotate buildings with a command or a spell ingame? i was browsing the forum but i cant find the solution for this:S Can someone help me please?

 

[Spartipilo]

I think you can trigger the building rotations. I've never found a different way to do it.

 

[Ender]

you can make them turn if you give them movespeed, turn rate, and set their movement type to something other then none.

but to prevent them from having the movement commands i.e. patrol move...

you need to give them the ability root. you can even have the ability roots disabled by triggers.

  • return false
• endfunction

          • Else - Actions

some of them are just copies that i found in the forums

 

[Ender]

well, you aren't using it in your example, you have the triggers set up but, you aren't having it be used for buildings you should add a check like this,

if (Picked Unit) is a structure = true then
Custom Script: call SetUnitX(Picked Unit, GetUnitX(PickedUnit))
etc...

of course you would want to set picked unit to a variable, for effeciency

i done that but when i try to save it it gives syntax error and i cant test the map ingame

edit: i forgot the variable

 

[Ender]

if you are using custom script you need to replace picked unit with, GetEnumUnit() you should also add SetUnitY(GetEnumUnit(),GetUnitY(GetEnumUnit()))

 

[median]

im confused now... can you make the trigger for me? i dont understand these custom scripts and variables:/

 

[Magtheridon96]

• Custom script: call SetUnitX(Picked Unit, GetUnitX(PickedUnit))

should be

• Custom script: call SetUnitX(GetEnumUnit(), GetUnitX(GetEnumUnit()))

is what Ender meant.

 

[median]

i writed it and it doesnt give syntax error now, but it isnt working ingame:S

 

[Magtheridon96]

Then replace it with this:

• Custom script: call SetUnitPosition(GetEnumUnit(), GetUnitX(GetEnumUnit()), GetUnitY(GetEnumUnit()))

 

[median]

thx for the fast answer but it dont work for me

The custom function is in map header.

You propably want to use GetEnumUnit() instead of GetTriggerUnit()

 

[median]

thanks, this works but how can i do that to turn not random facing, like -angle 90 or something? sry for bad english

 

[Maker]

You can use GUI (real) variable

Set variable = value

Then use udg_variableName in the custom script instead of GetRandomReal()

 

[median]

• RotateBuildingsTest
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetImmovableUnitFacing(GetTriggerUnit(), udg_rotation90

it gives syntax error

 

[Magtheridon96]

Add a parenthesis at the end of the custom script line.
It should be like this:

• RotateBuildingsTest
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetImmovableUnitFacing(GetTriggerUnit(), udg_rotation90)

 

[median]

it works! thanks to all who helped me

i done the trigger in a test map to not wait the whole saving progress, it worked then i done the trigger to my map, and its not working: undeclared function setimmovableunitfacing
what's the problem now?

 

[Magtheridon96]

Did you copy the script Maker gave you to your map's header?

 

[median]

sry if its a silly question, but im new in these map making things, so what is map's header?
