[JASS] Rotating Models

[Herio-san]

Does anyone have the jass snippet to rotate a model? say for instance i would like the unit to be upside down?

I think by Rotate you mean to move a unit in a circle? But what do you mean by "upside down"?

 

[Herio-san]

im not sure if it is possible to create this effect with jass. However i have seen it done in a spell pack i downloaded from here. basically it creates the effect that the unit is standing on its head. perhaps the person who made the spell used a customized model. Ill see if i can find the spell.

I did never find (or seek) a way to rotate a unit via JASS...
But if you want it to be fixed in a certain state of rotation, modify the value "orientInterp" in the object editor. Try negative values.
(possible by holding "Shift" while clicking on it)

use the maximum Pitch angle and maximum Roll angle ( with dummy units )

Art - Scaling Value: -1.00

Not changable ingame.

only way unless setting size in triggers to -100% works(which I doubt)

 

[Herio-san]

hmm thanks guys! Ill try all this and let ya know if it works. Otherwise I think I might just edit the model and flip it upside down

 

[Herio-san]

HAH! ok I figured it out. By changing the units model size via triggers to -100% I was able to make the unit stand upside down. However, he runs backwards (lol) any suggestions?

(Heres a copy of the trigger I made)
Rotate
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing rotate as An exact match
Conditions
Actions
Animation - Change Gryphon Rider 0002 <gen>'s size to ((0.00 - 100.00)%, (0.00 - 100.00)%, (0.00 - 100.00)%) of its original size

(I had to use 0-100 because world editor wont let you imput a negetive integer in this trigger (even with it allowed under preferences))
