2 Simple Questions for Cinematics

[Giantpanda]

Okay so I'm making a cinematic, and I have 2 questions.

1 - How do I move text around the screen without using floating text?

2 - How do I make it so that a model in on a different angle? e.g. I am trying to make a peasant model look like it is lying down.

Thanks in advance. I'll give rep if you can answer

Use lots of spacing in the game message, no other way around it, as far as I know.

2 - How do I make it so that a model in on a different angle? e.g. I am trying to make a peasant model look like it is lying down.

I'm pretty sure this can only be done for doodads, by changing the maximum pitch angle to -1.56 (Change model of doodad to peasant, change pitch angle to -1.56) Btw, if you can't change it to -1.56 hold shift and click on the maximum pitch box, then you can enter a negative.

#2 can be done with units, but quite tricky...
Edit in unit editor:
Art - Maximum Roll Angle (degrees) to -90
Give the unit a minimum movespeed, so it can turn.
When you need it laid down, order it to move to I don't know where, wait 0.1 second, then pause it.

For a doodad, what if i want it to be facing with its head up to the sky?
