Set rotation · Origins: Powerful Powers Handbook

origins-powerful-powers:set_rotationentity action

Turns the entity to face a direction.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`yaw`	Float	none	Left/right angle in degrees, the same as the `look_yaw` attribute: `0` is south, `90` west, `180` north, `-90` east. Left out: yaw is kept.
`pitch`	Float	none	Up/down angle in degrees: `-90` straight up, `90` straight down. Left out: pitch is kept.
`relative`	Boolean	`false`	When `true`, `yaw` and `pitch` are added to the current angles.
`max_step`	Float	none	The most each angle turns in one call, in degrees. Run it from `origins:action_over_time` to turn smoothly. Left out: it turns all the way at once.
`min_step`	Float	`0`	A dead zone. When both angles are within this many degrees of the target, the call does nothing.

Players: the server sends a teleport that keeps the position and changes only the view. Movement is kept.
Mobs: the head and body turn too. Their AI may turn them back on its next tick, so run the action every tick to hold a mob's facing.
Other entities (armor stands, projectiles) get the new angles.
Cost: for players, each call that changes the view sends a packet, so smooth turning sends one per call. Set min_step (for example 1) to stop calls once the view is close enough. This also avoids camera jitter.

Example: "Compass lock". While sneaking, your view turns north, 10 degrees per tick.
