How do you rotate buildings?

[Kitt]

Ttitle explains itself, simple question. I can't seem to find a way to rotate buildings =/

Mrow.

 

[Rad]

You can change them through triggers, or in game constants (But that changes the rotation of ALL buildings)

 

[Sargon]

You can't.

Unless they're not actually buildings, but that can sometimes create problems. May not matter for your purposes, though.

 

[Kitt]

so there's no way to jsut place a rotated building?

 

[Rad]

Edit the model + pathing if its not square, otherwise no it wont show the rotated building upon placement

Change the field 'Is A Building' to 'false' and you will be able to rotate the building. Not sure if setting that field back to 'true after rotation will keep the current rotation or reset it. Sorry.

 

[Im_On_56k]

You can choose the desired rotation if you create it with triggers.


Example

Create 1 Barracks at region<gen> facing degrees

 

[Kitt]

If you change is a building to false, then rotate it, then turn it to true, it does stay. However... the shadow is off. Looking for a work around, if there is none, i can always lvie without a shadow.

Its really simple. I just did it in my map.
Just do the following:

Events
      Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
     Make (Building 0001) face (angle)

Just do that and it'll automatically do it.

Is it a unit building or a doodad building?

If its a doodad you can double click it and edit its rotation!

 

[Rad]

Well, seeming how you can uncheck 'is a building' and rotate it, obviously its not a doodad

 

[Duwenbasden]

Why use triggers when you can change it before the game starts?

set "Stat - Is a building" to False

rotate your build, then set it back to true if you want.

 

[Pyromancer]

didnt kit just say that?

 

[team.ism]

um, no it was me.

 

[Rad]

Yes team-ism was first
