How to parent location but not rotation?

[Saucy]

I am trying to parent an actor to my pawn (I do so successfully with SetBase) but have it only follow the location and not rotation. I have been using this hacky way to do it...

//This code is inside the child (the actor attached via SetBase) not the pawn.
event Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
	SetRotation(Rot(0,0,0));
	//Rotation Handling code here.
}

Anything native? (I've looked found nothing) Or a better solution?

Anyone? Some advice maybe?

Basically, SetBase take care of rotation too, but your call SetRotation(Rot(0,0,0)); in Tick will reset any attempt...

So you basically said what I am doing is the only way...? Why write so dodgy?
I guess I'll just leave my code the way it is then.

No... You should use this:

/** If TRUE, this actor ignores the effects of changes in its  base's rotation on its location and rotation. */
var(Attachment) bool bIgnoreBaseRotation;

...if you don't want to update to BaseRotation.

Thank you! That's what I've been looking for!
