Can I Rotate the Arrow?

[ChapmanOSU1 0]

I've been playing this game for a decently long time, yet only recently has this become a problem. Now that I have downloaded various park paths, I find myself always having those arrows point the wrong way so I continuosly have to build a road tile in certain spots for the path to build in the right direction. Is there a button that can change the way the arrow is pointing? Do you guys even get what I mean by the arrow, I don't know if I'm explaining it well. <---- to -----> Thanks.

The Home and End keys can rotate the lot to the position you want it in.

Took me a while to figure this out to, and once I did, it was very useful indeed!

That is why they invented something great called a Manual

Don't be discouraged by negative comments regarding the manual. I didn't discover the arrow thing (home and end keys) for quite some time. Also, another thing that's really handy that I didn't discover for the longest time is the use of the shift and ctrl keys (holding them down) while zoning. You get real control over zone sizing which can influence greatly what will grow in your zones. It's kinda hard to explain but there are some posts in threads that show this (pictures worth many lines of code - programmer joke). Search the forums (it may take a bit of searching) and I'm sure you'll find some examples. Good luck and have fun.

By the arrow, do you mean the cursor ?

No, he means the arrow on Lots/BAT's and other plopable buildings.  In the manual of SC4 Deluxe it say the Page Up/Down keys rotates the building but really its the Home/End keys. Someone who wrote the manual doesnt know the game that well.

Like I'm gonna read that colossal thing, I've already read it once .

 

Anyway, thanks for the help, it's made things a lot easier.

If he means the arrow on the zone square itself, I suere don't see anyway to rotate it. Yes you can rotate the arrow on bldgs before you plop them, but the zone, the green square, blue square? I don't see how. What I do when it ends up not pointing to a road, is dezone it, then rezone it and the arrow points to the road on the 2nd attempt. I also just try to make sure its pointing towards roads as I zone. But I do not see anyway to rotate the zone square itself. Ami I missing something?

The Alt key changes the direction of the zones, but only when you are currently zoning it.

Ah yes I see, it does! Thanks.
