Feature Request :: Rotatable Buildings
Posted: 17 Aug 2005, 12:21
Something that has been annoying me a little bit is that even though we have a fully 3D game with a veiw that can rotate to any obscure angle you want it to, the buildings are all stuck continuously facing South. What im suggesting is the ability to, when building a building, having the ability to choose its rotation. A bit like (If i remember correctly) what you can do in C&C:Generals
Example of how it could work:
If you just want to build one building, you just click the position you want like usuall, but you keep the mouse down, and drag it to the direction you want your building to face. So place building, keep mouse down and rotate it by moving the mouse.
If you want to build lots of buildings in a row, make them face pendipicular to the dircetion of the line (so units could still walk out of them).
I dont know how hard this is to implement, but it would be a very nice feature to include.
