How to make a model rotate its bone when attacking?

[stan0033]

I want to know how does the human canon tower rotates its head so that it looks like its turned to where it shoots. I want to make the same thing with one of my models, but I don't know how.

Pour some light on me?

Open the Human tower model in Magos and you should see a bone called 'Bone_Turret'
Everything attached to that bone will rotate like a turret.

tha human tower doesn't have such bone

 

[General Frank]

Yes it does

 

[stan0033]

What model is this?

in the tower model from war3.MPQ it doesn't

 

[General Frank]

That's the path: Buildings\Human\HumanTower\HumanTower.mdx
It is the basic human tower model from the war3x.mpq

oh... i was looing at the tower from war3.mpq

sooo, just because the bone exists, the game rotates it with attack? or there are some tricks on it?

That's it.

just renaming the bone doesn't work.

 

[General Frank]

Have you renamed it exactly as that and have you assigned the vertices you want rotating to that bone?
