Hi
I have created a dif structure and placed it in the mission aok.
The problems occur when i try to move the building where i want it to go exactly and rotate it.
I cant rotate the building by changing the rotion values in the rotion text box if i do and then press apply completely different value are inserted and the stucture either fails to move or gets recaled!.
if i put values in the mission file manualy then when i go into the inspector they get reset to 1 0 0 0
erm?
Also i assume that you cant rotate the selected builing with the mouse?

So that how you rotate in the mission editor. I've been wasting so much time doing it with the inspector. Someone should add a botton to the editor GUI for rotating instead of using alt.

It *is* in the Mission Editor help (F1)

In other words, if you want to rotate an object around the Z access 180 degrees, set it to:
0 0 1 180
