I am trying to find out how I can set what direction that a object spawned with a CreateObject on the OCL faces....?

[DJRowley]

IIRC, you can set it so that it goes in the same direction by using a LIKE_EXISTING tag. Can't remember any others offhand though...

[LtZack]

that just makes the object exist when created liek a unit I think has nothing to do with the direction it is facing when created

[CodeCat]

Yes it does, you can apply several different Disposition -s to an object when you create it. Here's some:

LIKE_EXISTING - Creates it on the same spot as the creator, facing the same way.

RANDOM_FORCE - Applies a random force to the object. How much force and at what angle is specified by MinForceMagnitude, MaxForceMagnitude, MinForcePitch and MaxForcePitch.

INHERIT_VELOCITY - Causes the object to initially move in the same direction at the same speed as its creator.

ON_GROUND_ALIGNED - Object is stuck flat on the ground under its creator.

SEND_IT_FLYING - Sends the object flying in a random direction. Use DispositionIntensity to say how strong the object must be flung.

FLOATING - Dunno.

SEND_IT_OUT - Works like SEND_IT_FLYING but this one doesn't send them up into the air, but over the ground instead.

SEND_IT_UP - Propels the object straight up into the air rather than at an angle like SEND_IT_FLYING.

You can combine several of these, so it's perfectly possible to use something like Disposition = SEND_IT_FLYING RANDOM_FORCE INHERIT_VELOCITY.

Good Stuff there Immo...

[LtZack]

still doesnt help, I have had the LIKE_EXISTING tag there already and it still does not spawn facing the same direction.....
I really want it to face a certian direction regardless of what directon the parent object is facing

[Mithril]

Does it have to be an OCL? It may work with the spawn behavior as well but I don't know for what this is for. If you use the spawn behavior then obviously you can use the spawn point update and align the pivot of the bone I think..

[LtZack]

it is not a spawn behavior possible thing is is a OCL called by a weapon projectile's death and I want the object spawned to face a certian direction regardless of the direction of the parent projectile object

PLEase guys we need to get this working... Thanks a lot

[Airstriker]

It can't be done. The game doesn't allow it. What are you trying to do exactly? Then maybe we can find an alternative.
