A stupid question I guess but is there an "opposite" command to RotateToPlayer ? ( ie I would like a boot to face away from player ) ?
I have tried RotateY and g_Entity['y'] with no success...

Thanks you all for any tip...

ResetRotation(e,x,y,z) will rotate an entity any which way you want but if the character is under the control of the AI module scripts it will be overridden by those so you would either need to change the AI script to suit your needs or create your own from scratch (or find one of the existing scripts that nearest to what you want and edit a copy of that).

You may have to do the following:

CollisionOff(e)
ResetRotation(e, 0, Y-angle, 0 )
CollisionOn(e)

Don't know why exactly but if you don't it may not move at all!

Y-angle should be -180 to +180 btw but if all you want is for it to face away from you just use the player Y angle. (i.e. g_PlayerAngY)

Many thanks AmenMoses, it works perfectly.

Another question : does anyone knows if the View Cone Angle of an AI bot can be changed through scripting ( I have not found any matching command is the global file)...
