Because you did something wrong. What, I can't say. There's not enough information here.

well what should be wrong? :S, 8 is the thing tag, (player1), and 192 = south angle.

Me neither - because it's impossible to check without the rest of your setup.

You can't give a player a tid by giving it to the player start. You have to allocate a tid to the player via a script.

It worked! =D
This is what i used.
Code: Select all
script 100 enter
{
Thing_ChangeTID (0, 20);
SetActorAngle(20, 192);
}
However
, Now to next problem. The value 192=South direction it says on:
http://zdoom.org/wiki/Definitions. This wont work for me? :S, it doesn't matter if i change it from 96-224, still the pll facing the same direction. How this come?
Very much thanks! Soon i can stop being a pain in the ass for u guys

Unfortunately, it's not a function that I have ever used, so I don't really know the particulars of it. What I would suggest, however, is that this is really a general Zdoom editing question. Seeing as how the Zdoom forum gets far more visitors than this one, you might get a quicker or fuller response if you ask the question in the editing forum over there.

I worked it out by testing alot.
Anyways, for those who dont know it works like this:
0.25= North
0.50= West
0.75= South
1.0= East
And if you want to face northeast u just change the numbers something between 0 - 0.25, northeast would be 0.125 as 0.25/2 = 0.125.
0.125= Northeast
0.375= Northwest
0.625= Southwest
0.875= Southeast
Over and out!
