Hmmmm - I can see why this crashes (you're trying to rotate an item that doesn't exist), but am not sure whether the problem is with the trigger or the action.

Can you send me your dungeon.txt file (or, if it's easier, the entire *.RTC file) and I'll investigate further.

I have since abandoned the idea of rotating wall fixtures, what can I say, I like to push the engine beyond design specifications!

Still, a bug is a bug, I'll try to reproduce it and send you a copy.

I've reproduced the bug with a wall switch and sent you a copy.

BTW: if you also want to test the chest mess up bug, there is a chest on the same level where the test character enters, edit it, delete an item, click cancel and save (but it will ruin the saved file).

Lol, who doesn't - usually people don't give up though and push and we get shiny new features in the next release though! Go on, tell GG it's essential!

OK - the crash is now fixed for V0.46

There are some practical issues with rotating the switch (for example, should the rotation apply to the switch, or to an item that is clicked on the switch, or both?) which I'll take a look at later.

I think ideally, it should rotate the entire contents of the tile keeping the respective positions of all the items intact.
