[Solved] Turn a unit with movespeed 0 in triggers

[BoatyMcBoatface300]

Basically need the unit to be turned using only triggers but I need to disable the user's ability to turn outside of trigger, so setting propulsion to 0 wont work since right clicking would still change the unit's facing angle.
But setting movespeed to 0 causes BlzSetUnitFacingEx to not work at all.

Tried using SetUnitPositionLocFacingBJ but that somehow "lags" behind, like the next time it triggers the unit will turn to the previous facing angle.

Any ideas?

Edit the model. Make the whole thing attached to a special bone called head or something, then you can use the action to lock a units facing bone to another unit so it will always face that bone toward that unit. Since the whole model is now attached to that bone the model will face the locked unit at all times.

Simply move the locked unit to where you wish the turning unit to face.

The GUI trigger "Animation - Lock Body-Part Facing" yeah?
Thanks for that.

Are there any other methods? Simpler/more efficient than using a dummy.

You can use an Order Event to detect when the Player attempts to make the unit turn, then Stun it, Order it to Stop, and then Unstun it.

I forget which of these works best:

• Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
• Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
• Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)

• Custom script: call BlzPauseUnitEx(GetTriggerUnit(), true)
• Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
• Custom script: call BlzPauseUnitEx(GetTriggerUnit(), false)

You may need to replace the "Stop" order with a Point order with a 0.0 offset.

I know I've gotten this to work in the past where I had complete control over the unit's turning using triggers.

Thanks for both replies, it worked using the first method.
If I get any issue down the line from that, then swap to the other one.
