Though effects of this command remain local, you can do a setPos afterwards to synchronize the direction on all machines in MP. myObj setDir 90; myObj setPos getPos myObj;

In ArmA 2 OA, this command only makes the unit glance momentarily to the direction. To change his heading more permanently use setFormDir.
