Need to know for my plants vs. zombies starcraft map. I need to know if i can easily make it so that a specific unit fires downward only so that they don't shot across at other player sides.
First of all: I loved Plants vs. Zombies, I am curious on your ideas :D
Then, how do you plan to setup your missle system?
If you plan to use the default inbuilt system I can't help you, and I think it could get hard since these missles are always hitting the target.
To setup an own system either code it, or use a persistant effect to move the missle with a small period.
I think that there is a field called "periodic offset" which lets you set multiple offsets.
So create 20 offsets (and add 20 periods for the the effect with a small period duration). You will need to test out the values yourself, but I assume that moving 0.4 in x-direction every 0.1 seconds would be fine.
I figured it out thanks to onetwosc. You need to go to the turret of the unit and change the arc for all of the states like turning and what-not. Then you have to go to the actual unit and change it's facing direction to the same direction so that it will actually fire. This will only work if a unit is specifically in it's line of fire though but perfect for a plants vs zombies.

Moderatorsmake the unit not turnable and have it facing in a specific direction and adjust the angle it can fire at by altering the arc of the weapon.
