How to make a 2-Part Unit System for Tanks

[SMOrc]

Hi Guys,

I'm currently testing and trying to make a unit with head and body like a tank for a map.
The body and head should be separate to turn/rotate in different directions and be aimable via left click for the turret and movement controls via WASD for example.
To fire i would like to have a dummy projectile like shockwave (hitscan), I'm not capable to create a fully working custom projectile system sadly.
The obvious choice in the beginning for me was to make the turret a unit teleporting on top of the body every other millisecond and be locust to remove the click/hitbox.
This comes with various problems tho, not to mention the jittering.

While googling for answers, i found this older post: [Trigger] - how to make a Tank Turret System???
The used system seems very nice and very complex. It uses autoaim of sorts, how could i create a similar system which instead reacts to ability inputs?

Edit: The model in the example map seems to be in one piece, i cant figure out how the create made it rotate and keep its rotation like this

Best Regards

If the model has right bone names you can use the Animation - Lock bodypart function to make the turret turn (I would assume they use the turret as the "head" of the tank)

This is possibly since it has body and head parts, thanks!
But now i use a dummy for the location, the turret then snaps instantly to the targeted point (where the unit is created for a fraction of a second. Can i somehow simulate turret traverse speeds?
