DonDustin: awesome turret. Would be even better if you would create a missile for it aswell

Wow, looks nice! I like it's concept! seriously, are you gonna make other types of turrets too? Like missle or lighter/heavier version of this one... or some kinda like radar tower?!

 

[Freeze87]

Awesome dude, we need more futuristic models like this one +Rep

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

Nice concept, very useful, in-game textures... It all adds up to awesome. I just need to check the animations.

 

[Craka_J]

Reminds me of the sentry guns in Half-Life 2.

 

[Undead0dd]

This is the kind of turret from Half-Life/Half-Life 2.
And I love those games very much.

 

[chilla_killa]

Awesome work on this

 

[Elsheen]

Excellent model man rock on with the good work.

 

[Bwathke]

Very nice looks like the turret from MW2 Nice model and texture

 

[metal_13]

nice model....tested it...and found a small problem...
the gun isn't centered... so when it fires... the bullet comes out from the side (between the gun and ammo box)...

This needs to be changed in the Object Editor, not the model.

 

[Shimitar]

It has good animations.

 

[Dragnoid]

Well made. Good animations. = Good model

 

[KatsuyaHyao]

beautiful, as always.

 

[Citatus Nim Totren]

Awesome. You could probably make the laser team color though, to differentiate the teams.

 

[Kunfury]

ok im so sorry to ask this but what is the BASIC sentry gun model for WC III?

 

[kolloqwerty]

This needs to be changed in the Object Editor, not the model.

I tested this out a bit. I noticed that the model can be facing straight down, and you have a unit directly below it, but when it starts its attack animation, the barrel of the gun swivels about 30 degrees counterclockwise before finishing the attack animation.

The turret is shooting at a unit directly below it, but the barrel is aiming as though the target is 30 degrees off to the side.

So even if you perfectly set the X and Y offset for the "Art - Projectile Launch" fields in the object editor, the attack missile will still travel in a path about 30 degrees off from the way the barrel is facing. This doesn't look good.

The attack animation should line up with the stand animation, it shouldn't include swiveling 30 degrees and screwing up the missile trajectory.

EDIT: Just a guess, but this is probably due to the Origin attachment point of the model. It seems set roughly between the ammo box and the main chassis/barrel, rather than being aligned with the barrel. With how long the barrel is, any misalignment will cause a much more noticeable deviation in how the unit turns to face a target.
