How do I change where static units face in editor?

[Dudester22]

When I am in the editor I am trying to change the way a static Russian ship faces. Under the heading I move the arrow that is surrounded by a circle, but the ship just continues to face in one direct. How do i get it to face another way? Thanks!

I noticed that actually. I wondered if the unit sprang to the facing you set, after you click away from it. (in other words, when you select something else and your Russian unit turns red to show you are finished editing it.) But I forgot to check.

One way to do this, is to make a waypoint at the direction, and use speed=0.

 

But it works fine, if you change direction, after you place the object.
