Feature Request: Toggle OFF Rotation of Attached Elements

[TheAlexPlus]

I just upgraded to v13 and now that they've implemented the automatic token rotation, my vehicles are broken.

I need to be able to move prefabs around without affecting their rotation, but Foundry's new auto-rotate feature only allows for you to lock the "rotation of the art" but not the actual rotation, which then reverberates down into the attached prefab...

I would love a feature that allows me to turn off token rotation all together, not just the artwork.

I'm not quite understanding the issue. Is this not the expected behaviour?:

vehicle.mp4

The first wagon is a Tile+Region, the 2nd is a Token+Region

Foundry also provides a global setting to disable rotation:

Neither of those examples are being controlled BY a token. Although at the very end, it does seem like the cart somehow autorotated and I'm not grasping how that happened since it looks like you only moved the tile itself. In your examples, you're able to accomplish what I want by moving just the tile(like a strafe to the side or shifting backward without turning in the direction you moved it), but it does add a couple extra clicks between moving characters and moving vehicles, needing to click over to tiles and back each time.. In my case, I have boats and canoes that have a token that can be attacked to sink them and I also control the movement from the token. I used to be able to turn off auto-rotate and move the token without all the attachments spinning with it, but now the locking only locks the artwork and foundry is still processing rotation, so there's no way to manually control the rotation like there used to be. Like, imagine you have a boat attached to a token and you just want to back up 5 ft... the result will be that the entire boat spins around backwards and all attached tokens spin with it I know I can turn off auto-rotate globally, but there ARE tokens that I want to auto-rotate, just not all of them. I realize that this is more of a feature request for Foundry itself to make their auto--rotate better, but it also feels like this problem is only a problem when you're attaching things to a token, so they wont really have skin in that game.

Is this what you are running into? If so, i am also curious if there is a way to do this better.
In the example here, the horses are creatures, so i can unlink them as needed.

And they are just derpy in V13.

No, but sort of. In your example you're clicking over to the tile layer to grab the carriage and move it around. I have a controller token attached to my vehicle (canoe) and i want to be able to move that without the rotation information shoved down the throat of the attachment.
Foundry core implemented auto rotate, but no way to ACTUALLY lock the rotation, just a way to lock the ART from rotating.

Ah, I understand. Different issue, but victim of the same foundry change
