Try setting the looking at location instead for infantry, I can't remember the names of the functions off the top of my head but it lets you set where the infantry unit is 'looking', hence setting the direction it's facing in.
Quick bit of maths to determine the x,y,z of a location 1m from the unit in the direction you want it to face should be all you need.
EDIT: I think it's called something like Force_Camera_Look_Player, but IIRC it should work for AI too.... give it a try.

Force_Camera_Look_Player is not what you want. You pass it the GameObject for a player and it forces that players camera to face and look at a given position.
Set_Facing should work just fine for infantry, I know its been used for infantry before.

Just a thought... have you tried introducing a delay between Set_Position and Set_Facing? It's plausible that for infantry units you can't do them both in the same engine tick for whatever reason.... either try setting the facing only, or use a delayed custom to trigger the Set_Facing call on the next engine tick (ie: 0.001 second delay)
I know I have found cases like this with other things in the engine, where trying to do two things at once to an object either caused one of the two to fail or the game to simply crash.

I tried exactly that, I originally had the Set_Position and Set_Facing functions called by a single SSGM chat hook, but I split it up into two and tried the Set_Facing part separately... didn't work.
That's exactly how I called it Hex (minus the variable name), but it just doesn't work. It's not like I'm passing it an invalid argument or anything else it would have crashed by now... it simply doesn't do anything.

Commands->Set_Position(o,Vector3(101,-34,-7)); Force_Camera_Look_Player(o, 129);
Can someone try this because it gives me really odd results

If we had to ban all who ever cheated or ever created a cheat (obj3cts and such) then I don't think there would be many members left here (sad fact).

Ignore that bit about Force_Camera_Look_Player, it's not exactly what I was thinking it was... bit of a brain fart moment.
EDIT: Just a thought... is Set_Facing expecting a value in degrees or radians? If it's expecting radians that's probably why it's not working properly. I would assume it's degrees but you never know...

Just a thought: you weren't trying to use this on AI bots were you? If you were the bots would have simply turned around again to face the direction the AI wants to face in and ignore the facing you were setting... You would have to use the ActionParamsStruct and related functions to instruct the AI to face a particular direction.

Set_Facing works on all human and vehicle objects except for infantry that are controlled by the player, which it still works for, the players camera just instantly override the Set_Facing command, rotating the player's character back to what their camera is facing.
float PI = 3.14159265f,Facing = 90.0f;
Vector3 pos = Commands->Get_Bone_Position(obj,"c head");
pos.X += 20.0f*(cos(Facing*PI/180));
pos.Y += 20.0f*(sin(Facing*PI/180));
Force_Camera_Look_Player(obj,pos);
