How do you animate a turret

[TheBeerinator]

Im a noob with Gmax but I think im doing pretty good, I was just wondering how I would get the top of the turret to spin, do I use 2 bones or somethin' like that.

One bone will be fine as long as you keep its positions. But you will need 4 keys for each rotation. Just attach the bone to the turret having both in their final (after birth) positions and just rotate the bone like when doing other animations.
