Unit Facing Problem

Hey Guys,

I am trying to move a unit and have it face another direction instantly. The code I am using is:


The unit is at 90* when it leaks, and as you can see should be set to 270* when moved. What happens though is the unit turns around to face 270*, and so there is a weird and useless animation.

Any ideas?

Replace the unit.

That is what I have been doing. However, it seems like an extremely inefficient method to create a new unit, run all the processes involved(damage detection system etc.), and destroy the old when you could just move the unit.

You can't change the facing instantaneously.

try remove 'Amov' ability and then call SetUnitTurnSpeed().

Interesting, but that is for dummy units only? They need to continue moving, would readding 'Amov" undo this fix?

'Amov' removal is permanent and cannot be undo.

There is no way to do "near instant" turning without changing object data.

I've made some test combining a lot of thing: remove amov, add chaos ability, instant timers..., but wasn’t successful, couldn't get instant fancing


ps: removing Amov and then readding doesn't readd the unit movement, but you can workaround using chaos ability

try using SetUnitFacingTimed with duration of 0.


I don't think you can get it real instant, though.

And how can you edit a model for doing that ?

set turning speed to 1.00 in object editor and orientation interpolation to some negative value (or zero).

You will need model with head bone and then lock unit facing, it instant.

orientation interpolation == propWin ? (Display value as ...)
