Facing Angle JASS help

[naughty]

Is there any way by using jass codes to only make a unit face a point without interrupting orders? Today i attacked this forum with questions

 

[Hellohihi]

I don't think so.

However you can move a unit without interupting its command:

            call SetUnitX(u,x)
            call SetUnitY(u,y)

I don't have WE or JassCraft with me, but if I remember correctly the name of the function is:

SetUnitFacing(whichunit, real value)

Don't know if it interupts any current orders or not.

However you can move a unit without interupting its command:

            call SetUnitX(u,x)
            call SetUnitY(u,y)

Consolation prize?

SetUnitFacing(whichunit, real value)

WORKS and does not interrupt orders

I don't see how you could've set a unit's facing whilst interrupting orders.

Well in GUI i can only use the action Move Unit And Face angle instantly which actually interrupts the units orders

Alternatively, you could've used the GUI actions:

• Actions
  • Unit - Make (Last created unit) face (Last created unit) over 0.00 seconds
  • Unit - Make (Last created unit) face (Center of (Playable map area)) over 0.00 seconds
  • Unit - Make (Last created unit) face Default building facing (270.0) over 0.00 seconds

Which seem somewhat more logical to use.

Which is not so logical because down there in the actions quotes says: "This only works if the source unit is not moving at the time"

The last one does exactly the same thing as the Jass action you're currently using.
That exact native. Not even a BJ.

Edit: No, nevermind.
Stupid of blizzard to leave that out though. =|

 

[Sevion]

EGUI? Shall I EGUI that function?

Shh, Romy, Blizzard does funny things.

It really works, really really stupid of blizzard indeed..

 

[Romek]

I was just gonna PM you about that, Sevion.
Yes, EGUI it.

Blizzard either uses the Timed native, which interrupts orders.
Or they use the good one, but use SetUnitPosition just before it. =|
Fail.

 

[Sevion]

Actually, Romy, I think it's SetUnitPos

I willz EGUI it! Look for it in the next update. (When I get to it >=O)
