Funny, someone just asked this on the Discord chat as well.
Create a Site Operation (Rotator) actor. Set the rate to 0 and initial angle to 90. Set the axis values to (-1,0,0). Add this site operation to the actor for the Terrazine tank.
You could also use a Site Operation (Explicit Rotation) actor, but I find those more confusing.
The Site Operation (Explicit Rotation) SOp is pretty straight forward once you know how they work. First make sure Actor: Is Local is enabled so it turns relative to the unit and not the map grid. Second the Actor: Forward is the direction the forward vector is to face with -1 on the Y axis being straight ahead. For any given angle just use the sin and cos functions of a calculator. Finally the Actor: Up is the direction the up vector faces with +1 being upright. The forward and up vectors should always be at a right angle to each other.

Hi, I'm making Top-view game.
This is Terrazine. But in Top-view hard to recognize.
So I want to rotate Terrazine that can see side in Top-view.
Is it possible without Modify Terrazine resource(.m3 file)?
