Well I'm making a mod that requires me to change the angles of a bunch of machs but before i do, I would like to know what entity screws up so that i Don't mess up my map

new angels like where there positions are in the map because if so ya entity doesn't always work quite right sometimes they spawn sideways instead of up and down i was told darkmatter eliminates that problem

This is what I always do.
1. I move the mach to where I want it.
2. I rotate it with the shift key, until I like how it is.
3. Then I save.
4. I rotate with the ctrl key, until I like how it is.
5. Then I save.
6. I rotate with the alt key, until I like how it is.
7. Then I save.
Done.

i did that once on zanzi because i was making a prison type mod but every time the gates would be crooked when i tried to angel them at say a 65 degree

It works for some machs, it doesn't for others.

o ic but do u think that if i used the darkmatter to set them they would spawn right? i was told by a few people it works better than entity

That's right.

Dark matter is no way near the right answer. Its bsp controls are horrific and its placement is wayyy off. The best I got so far was using Entity Alpha 1.
