Unit Rotation

[Raizn]

Hi Helpers

id wonder if its possible to rotate a unit with gui/mui like the bladestorm ability by activating a spell ? does anyone know something about that ?

bye raizn

It's possible to rotate the unit but do you want the unit to stand up like Blademaster does? or just rotate where he stands? Also what unit/model do you want to rotate?

 

[Viikuna]

Changing units facing angle is too slow. There are some tricks to do stuff like this, but the best way would be to make a custom animation, like Blade Masters Blade Storm.

ye the the unit doesnt need to move. it should just rotat x degrees. 5-6 turns or something.

What Viikuna said, make a specific, new animation for the unit to represent a spin, that will also allow you to make the arms as well as the weapon spin.

 

[Viikuna]

Yep.
If you need it to work for target unit, which can be any type, and so custom animation is no option, you can do it with custom impale model, but it makes target invulnerable, which kinda sucks if you dont want it to be invulnerable.

You should really tell us what you exactly wanna do, so we can tell you the best way to do it.

I wanna make a spell which initially rotates the triggering unit for maybe 720 degrees. after that i will add some dummies and abilities and so on. everything works fine i just dont know how to make that custom animation to rotate the unit.

ok this is the actuall spell.

You need to find some guy to do that animation for you, if you dont know any animating stuff.

Ive been doing some lil animatin thingies and trying to learn that stuff, so if you upload the model you want this animation together with some good description which tells me what that animation should exactly look like, I can do my best and try if I can make it.

( Dont promise anything more than try it, so dont expect too much )

hm thanks about that but i guess that spell will work also well if that little goblin will not turn around^^ it would be too much to make a custom animation for that.
