Turret issues

[Fingolfin]

I have some problems with my turret bone.
This is how my hierarchy looks:

Problem is that my turret won't spin when ingame.
Is it so that non-structure units can't use turrets?

This. Put it under Bone_Head and you can fix it using triggers.

But you can specify other bone if using custom script?

@Devine, do you mean the body part lock trigger?
Because it's to much work and too much cpu requirement to apply a trigger for that for every unit in my map.

Is it possible to use the turret bone or not, and then how?

yes. Err. Ask some coder. I seriously have no idea.

For a tank like unit with a turret that can fire and spin, they would have to be 2 seperate units with the turret being attached at an XY coordinate constantly.

Quite demanding, unfeasible for a map with a large number of such units.

Thanks. In that case, i'll skip it.

Yeah, better wait for starcraft for such things.
