PointEntity?

My character must be able to move all around his litle planet. Im using PointEntity from my character to a pivot at the planetcore, and then moving my character down his own y axis wich is pointed towards the planet core. BUT... I need my character to be able to look around, rotating around his y axis (yaw), but PointEntity takes control of both his Pitch and yaw. So... I need to control only his pitching x axis, and point it so his y axis is towards the planet core at all times, and still be able to rotate him around his y axis, yaw'ing beautifully around.. Thanks...

You should be able to use PointEntity and then modify his yaw afterwards (it might help to store it first -- yaw = EntityYaw (entity) -- and re-set it after PointEntity), but it's hard to visualise exactly what you're doing, so dunno if that's gonna help!

there's a function the code archives which can be modified to suite your needs.

Or put a pivot where the character is, point the pivot then pick up the entitypitch(pivot).
