Well, I have done. I didn't re-read my tutorial so if there is any error or something just say it to me.
Any question about turret?
Thanks for reading my tutorial.

*I will put more image.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The testmap throws a defeat message.
When testing the unit out, it was throwing actor creation errors every attack it made.

As such this tutorial does not do what it intended to teach (something that errors without a good excuse is not known as working in my opinion).
It will be archived in 1 week if no response is heard (where it will remain until I am contacted).
