strafing units

[vegemite]

how would i go about making a unit move sideways, without facing in that direction without scripting?

as in, tank is facing north, but can move east and west while still facing north, it will be an uncontrollable unit so its mostly just about how it looks.

Thats called sliding, theres a tutorial in the tutorial section for sliding units, let me find it.

Alright, its not on the same site, but i think this should help. http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=22135

You can only do this via triggers normally that's called knockback or slide search the tutorials(there're loads of)

And btw Labiathan: you have a edit button i saw you several times now in very few days going for doubleposting

that easy just have 2 regions follow the sides on the tank and have when u hit <- or -> make it move into the region facing what ever degrees/angle

i found something that doesn't actually shows what you need but its somehow like that. its working on normal units but when i tried it on tanks, it doesn't work
but still its some sort of the idea

• lock body parts
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Animation - Lock Footman 0003 <gen>'s Head to face Footman 0004 <gen>, offset by (0.00, 0.00, 90.00)
    • Animation - Lock Footman 0003 <gen>'s Chest to face Footman 0004 <gen>, offset by (0.00, 0.00, 90.00)
