North East South West Compass Direction

Post by silversound »

Well I just discovered that I have South & North Wings at the White House instead of East & West Wings. :oops:

Needless to say this is one little detail that I should have taken into consideration. Duh.

Anyhow, I know that the map is way beyond doing any creative rotating, so I imagine that it would have to be done (if it even can) in the scripting.

Any help? I will feel sort of silly releasing a map that had such a simple mistake.

This can be set in worldspawn:

------------------------------------------------------------
northyaw( Float yaw )

Sets the yaw direction that is considered to be north
-------------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea what you put for "float yaw". Could be degrees, like 90 or -90.

Please let me know if it worked, and what number/word you used. If you are wondering where I got that, look in the MOHTools docs folder at the file named "g_allclasses.html". And, scroll up from the bottom a little.

Say, don't if you just click on an angle that changes it. Also seems like north/xx also does the trick.

Well it works, I just have to work out the proper angle. I think that just pressing an angle with no key selected while on worldspawn would do it as well. When you press an angle and have no key set it gives you "angle" not "yawangle" as the key, but it I find no other use for just angle, so imagine it is the same.

Just type in:
KEY: northyaw
VALUE: 90 or whatever.

You'll notice that any entity you place, I use the player start, will automatically point to 0/360 degrees. So, just rotate your entity around until you get it pointing in the direction that you want 'North' to be... then use that number for your northyaw value.
