Getting Spawned Monsters to Start Facing a Direction? - Strembitsky - 02-08-2012
This is probably a problem I can live with, but whenever I spawn a monster, he is facing the opposite direction of the player, and then needs to turn around. Any way to fix this?

Well when I put a monster inside the level editor I just click on the monster, press "W" and turn him around to the direction I want. This doesn't work for my brother for some reason but you should at least try it

Use patrol nodes.

Using patrol nodes is the only way I know of that will spin the monster. As a tip, don't have the monster materialize out of thin air.
