how to make a Tank Turret System??? something like this

 

[Cokemonkey11]

In jass.

 

[Mr G W]

The turret is actually another unit.

The turret is actually another unit.

A dummy unit, to be precised =D
It checks where does the enemy from Tank Position and rotate the dummy facing position
After checks it, make that unit face the position of the acquired target of that Tank

 

[Hantoo]

can make tutorial map for me to investigate?

This isn't by me. You'll need some knowledge of JASS.

 

[Hantoo]

not very good enough cuz i cant attack by clicking the enemy unless i click the turret

I don't have the model so I can't say for sure but there is a GUI action to lock bones of a unit to target point or unit
this looks like there is a trigger which does exactly that every time the tank is issued an order

• Animation - Lock unit's Head to face unit, offset by (0.00, 0.00, 90.00)

of course you can use the jass function this is calling to lock any bone - not just chest and head
more about it:

but all this stuff will only work if you know the name of the turret bone
you can find the name with war3model editor (tool section), also called magos model editor

@NARUTOvsSASUKE: Make a simple trigger that orders the turret to attack whenever you order the tank to attack.

Alternativly you could upgrade to StarCraft II where this functinality is nativly supported as long as the model has a physical turret attachment to manipulate.

A good example of this in work is the dimondback and hellion.

In Warcraft III you will have to do pretty much the above, and use a dummy unit and move it every frame.

 

[Hantoo]

not understand

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Take an english course

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

don't ignore my comment....imho it is a pretty much perfect solution

I attached a testmap to draw your attention

it's rather hacked together but it works fine
next step would be to only change targets if the last one is dead or out of range

Dude, i seriously wonder what you're doing in a wc3 forum since all you ever do is to tell people to go get SC2. You posted it as a comment on pretty much every other thread in this forum.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

It's good advice though, NARUTOvsSASUKE obviously doesn't have the scripting experience to make this, but in the SC2 editor he might have a chance.

Edit: And this board does support SC2 as well.

hey how did you put the siege machine and gryphon rider together?? (i not understand the trigger)
