Rotate buildings script?

Hi, I wonder if it's possible to rotate buildings using LUA? Or is anyone currently making it possible? Thanks

do you know the bind command to do this ?

I rotate factories with COB. But the yardmap doesn't follow 
As for the bind commands:
From default uikeys.txt
From some mysterious hidden secret:
Uhm, none of this is Lua, I'm irrelevant again.
As for the bind commands:
From default uikeys.txt
Code: Select all
bind [ buildfacing inc
bind Shift+[ buildfacing inc
bind ] buildfacing dec
bind Shift+] buildfacing decCode: Select all
bind numpad2 buildfacing south
bind numpad4 buildfacing west
bind numpad6 buildfacing east
bind numpad8 buildfacing northPosted: 28 Aug 2007, 12:45

Yes, even with set HEADING, in 75b2.

Can't Lua do something? If you could just tell Lineage mode to reparent the lineage to a new unit you could replace the com with one that faces wherever you want...

Just curious, why can't rotated yardmaps be autogen from the default one facing south?

They are if you turn the thing before placing it but Zw is talking about the Kernel Panic commanders which are placed automatically by the engine.

Currently in Kernel Panic they do the "set HEADING", it doesn't turn the yardmap, but it turns the default exit waypoint (I prefer that to assigning a waypoint in a LUA widget). Strangely, the model turned, but not the buildpad. Had to make the script turn the buildpad piece again. Since the yardmap doesn't turn, the hole only turn 180°, while the kernel turns each 90°.
Last time we talked about turning building in Lua, Trepan seemed to say turning yardmaps in Lua wouldn't be that easy, so I didn't even try.
But, at least for Kernel Panic, turning the yardmap isn't as a priority as writing a better script to determine which cardinal point to turn, as currently it only takes into account the position relatively to other units, and it would be more helpful if it took into account the nearby slopes (which I can with just bos, I just need to decide which way do I do it and start typing it).

Wasn't there a time when each directional yardmap had to be premade and placed in the map file?

Perhaps you could just lua a rotate button so when a user is unhappy with the rotation he ended up with he can change it?
