I'm trying to make it so that the heroes (the player-controlled unit) in my hero battle game appear on the minimap as unique team-colored icons, but whose icons always rotate to match the direction that the hero is facing as they're moving around. I have no problems with the icons and colors, but I've been unable to find a way to make the icons rotate with the hero unit facing. I know this is possible, I've seen it in Star Battle Omega, but thus far I've failed at replicating it. The author of Star Battle Omega no longer plays, so I cant get into contact with him and his project is locked.

Any help or advice would be appreciated! <3

In reply to DrSuperEvilGamepedia:
Is the Minimap Icon value field of an actor considered a minimap type actor?
Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob =p Slowly learning, but God willing, I'll get there!
