I have tried to stop the items being dropped by the bots rotating ... but to no avail.
I even tried to do it here
Any ideas. I replaced the Health Pack object with another model and everything works fine ... except for stopping the rotation.
Arrrrrggghhhh ... help please.
datablock ItemData(HealthPatch)
{
...
rotate = false;
...
};I even tried to do it here
function InventoryItemData::create(%data)
{
%obj = new Item()
{
...
rotate = false;
...
};
return %obj;

scripts/server/item.cs
In my instance I am using the GMK (Game Mechanics Kit) so I had to add it to: scripts/server/logickingMechanics/inventoryItem.cs
As I recall, it comes down to the rotate = false and static = true options.
I hope this helps.

@Richard: Yes I did come right ... it was eventually a matter of running debug statements in the scripts until I found the right place to put the call in.scripts/server/item.cs
function ItemData::createItem(%data)
{
%obj = new Item()
{
dataBlock = %data;
static = true;
rotate = false;
};
return %obj;
