Hi all. How to control or to set the facing angle of a unit when I put it in the map? I know how to do that by using a trigger, just wanna know how to set the facing angle when selecting a unit from the unit panel and putting it in the map, any shortcut key?
Thanks.

hold down left CTRL button and left click in the point that unit should face.

Additionally, you can enter that in unit specifics by pressing ENTER key and setting the angle in there.


The first method is good when you want multiple units to face certain point, while the second method is better if you want accurate angle, or when you want all selected units to face same angle

Additionally, if you have one unit set at the angle you want. You can select the unit and hit ctrl+c to copy it and then ctrl+v to paste it. This way the angle will be already set to what you want (assuming you want multiple units at the same angle.) This method and the above methods by Nichilus also work for doodads.

Thank you both for the detailed answers! +Rep
