I have a flag prop which, when picked up by the player, is supposed to hover
over their head. Unfortunately, setting the player as the parent of the flag
causes the flag to rotate with the player's view. Is there any way to attach
it to the player's position without preserving the player's ro
You can override the render angles on the client.

Uh... How would I do that? To clarify, I mean that the flag rotates *around
the player*. As in, it hovers 100 units above the player's head when the
player is looking forward, and if the player is looking straight down it hovers
100 units directly in front of the player. It rotates with the
_dynamic_ornament or
prop_ornament as I recall.

You can find all names of bones and attachments using HLMV, under bones and
attachment tabs respectively.

I have a similar problem. I did this in the episode1 code and it worked
perfect. It didnt care about the player's pitch. But now when I moved over
to OB I have the same problem as you do.

That's not quite what I meant, but if it works, good.
I meant to put similar code in the client-side portion of the flag entity.
For example, here's something out of my game:
int C_InfoObjective::DrawModel( int flags )
{
Vector vecDirection = CurrentViewOrigin() - GetAbsOrigin();
QAngle a
Ah, that is a much better solution. I will do that instead. Thank you.
