Can we have a mechanism for making objects move omnidirectionally without rotating? I have an object that could use better path finding, but it must not rotate around the ground normal(the z-axis on level ground). Forward and up vectors would also be useful for making one-prim objects face the correct direction. (Is there a better place for this?

- We might be able to add a flag that causes us to simply ignore the rotation when we update the visible object (as opposed to the underlying physics representation which can only move in its forward direction), but without understanding your use case better, I'd be hesitant to do so. This is the kind of feature request that we'd only really consider post-release and if enough users requested it. (It's not that it's necessarily hard to do, just that it would added complexity to pathfinding and it isn't clear how widely useful it would be.)
