Is it possible to detect the which way a unit is facing and use that as a way to make action occur for a map such as a fighter pilot game. The only way I've seen is a drop ship with units like: "Shoot South" or "Shoot NE" but this would be unrealistic in a dogfighting map since aircraft are only capable of shooting the way they are facing.

(Arrows indicate unit's facing)
(l show firing missles / guns)

Is a system like that possible?

I don't think it's possible to detect which way a unit is facing, it's possible to detect which way it is moving.

Check the Experimental maps for Micro Scan Beta.

Yeah I think its impossible, but like Demaris said you can use the micro scan beta. You can make it by using triggers, like make the location right and left or something.
