Turret Animation

[Varine]

Okay, so I made a model of a tank, and I want to make it so that only the turret will spin when it attacks, and the body stays facing forward. Is there a way to do this without making two models and syncing them together in the game?

hmm, I think that there was something. Try calling the turret bone: Bone_Turret, If you look at human cannon tower it has thast name and it rotates to attack.

 

[Varine]

Alright, I'll try that. Thanks.

Yes, bone_turret is correct

 

[Varine]

So all I should have to do is name the node that animates the turret bone_turret and have that centered properly?

well technically yes, but I remember some time ago Whitehorn was trying to make a tank like this and he couldn't get it working with that bone_turret. It had to be done via triggers...but maybe I can't remember right...see if it works with the turret bone.

Illidan(evil)x made that ask him how did he do it with trigger help

bone_turret just doesn't work with moving units. For buildings it's fine
