Every .05(Or whatever) seconds run a trigger called, "Set Camra Field (Timed)" Replace "Distance to Target" to "Angel of Attack". Replace value with "Unit - Facing Angle". I don't have WE infront of me, but I hope that helped.

As I take it, you've got the camera set up like a third person shooter behind the unit in question. And/Or you wanting to have the unit move via "goofy foot," so that if the unit is facing east and left if pushed, he faces north instead of west.
You will need to get the units current facing angle and add/subtract 90 degrees from that number and have it face that direction.

ehm.. ok but doesn´t it only face the unit to left or right?

Oh! Sorry. First off, is this a WoW kind of game, or do you want it like Diablo? WoW you move with arrow keys, Diablo with mouse.

Edit: My question answered. Anyways, I suggest you do it for if the butten is held, for every... .25 seconds change it by 5°-25°, that way it would be smoother. Changing it my 90° will make it look... weird, and if you want him to go diagnal, it would have to be 45°.

Edit(2): Huh? Why did it make too post for an edit?

Relitive Facing angle

(I don't have WE in front of me, so I'm going via memory)
If you set a unit to face an angle, then yes, it will only face a direction. If you choose your angle by:

Set unit facing angle to ( unit's current facing angle + or - x degrees)

then your unit will face a direction relitive to it's current angle.

"Change it by 5°-25°." Lol, hope I made the word stick out. I didn't say change it. I wonder if you directed that towards me.
