Chair / Object Rotation

Post by Lothaudus »

It is currently not possible to make those chairs rotate facing the altar. No matter what wall you put them against, they will always face the wall.

Suggestion: Some kind of "Rotate" command in the Adventure menu. Click it, then click on an object you're standing next to and the object will rotate where it is.

Objects always face the character direction. Stay near the wall and put your chair between shrine and your character.

Yeah, except it means you can't have chairs against the wall (or any wall for that matter). The only way to get a chair against the wall is to have it either facing the wall, or at a funny angle. You can't have it facing away from the wall, as you can't drop objects where you are...

... unless you log-out holding the chair maybe. Hmmm, might try that.

Success!?

I think shift key locks rotation, so just turn them first and than put them down with shift

Objects drop in the characters direction, i did this with my cupboards so the doors all faced towards south.

Also, shift and click (drop) will snap the drop to the grid.

As such, pick up a chair, walk to your south wall, shift and click where you want the chair (so long as you walk north) it will place it like your asking.

Yes DarkConvict, that works - but then again you'd have the problem where you can't place chairs by the wall and still keep it facing away from the wall.
Would a fair stopgap solution be to have the chairs behave like the cupboards, so they face the character when put down?
