[General] upside down

[stan0033]

IS there a trigger that can turn the model of a unit upside down?

 

[deathismyfriend]

No not that I know of.

You'd need to make dummy units of that to obtain that.

Then I need to make a dummy for every unit in game(6) haha!

Yeah it isn't that big of a side-affect so it should be fine. Just going to take a bit of time, maybe like 20 seconds at most for each unit.

Guys how can I rotate a unit 180 C ? there must be a line that does it

Or maybe you can just give a unit an animation where he is upside down that you can name as: Stand Alternate, Walk Alternate etc etc.

Welp, if you don't know how to animate then you'll probably have to ask someone. Shouldn't be that hard.

If you want to make an upside down unit with the Object Editor then set the Max Pitch/Roll angles to a negative number. I believe that units use degrees so you would want to make it -180.00

To make it negative just hold down the shift button while you double click the field you want to change.

Use the famous dummy model that allows rotation using triggers by playing animations. What you do is use a table mapping unit types to their models and then use a dummy with the appropriate model attached to it and rotate as necessary. During this time you hide the original unit. If control of the unit must be kept then you may need to morph the unit with an ability like bear form.

Ironically in SC2 this is probably quite easy to do as you could send a rotation actor message.

You might want to post a link to how to get it.

I do not know, all I recall is a ton of spells use it for dummy projectiles as it provides a 1 unit fits all solutions for dummy projectiles.

Set unit scale to -100%, however the unit will be moving backwards. Maybe then setting animation speed to -100% could fix that issue...
