Entity can't be steered anymore after the latest update

[simple sierra]

I have this this entity where it gives the player a special item when ridden, and when used, the entity plays a running animation and automatically moves forward and break blocks along the way using a tp command, before the latest update which is 1.20.51, the entity can be steered by the player wherever tha player is looking, but after 1.20.60, it can't be steered anymore, and I didn't see anything in the changelog regarding the tp command, I also updated to the latest min engine version, and it still didn't fix here, does anyone know a workaround with this?

Who's running that command ?

[simple sierra]

The entity itself

Using animation controllers

I mean you're not setting the entity rotation anywhere so it just uses whatever rotation it had before

Before 1.20.60 it could follow wherever the player is facing at while the command is being ran every tick

[hot viper]

well idk what to tell u, but all the commands you gave us (1) dont work alone like that, could you show the other commands or what commands run that function?

[simple sierra]

Is is ran by an animation controller, and executes if a score in a scoreboard command is above 0

[hot viper]

alr i mean just setting the rotation of the entity to the players before executing that command should make it work

Can you give me a snippet?

[hot viper]

execute as <rider> at @s run tp <ridee> ~~-<y_decrease>~ facing ^^-<y_decrease>^10
y_decrease is just so it teleports the entity right beneath the player so it looks like they're sitting on it

an example could be:
execute as @p at @s run tp @e[tag=ridee] ~~-0.5~ facing ^^-0.5^10

[simple sierra]

Thank you so much! it worked!
I just did some slight modifications with it

execute at @s unless block ^ ^ ^5 bedrock [] run execute as @p at @s run tp @e[type=ptd:ravager_dragon, r=4, c=1] ~~-3~ facing ^^^10```
