An old friend of mine is whipping up some sort of Tank Experiment

anyone know how to script up a turret attachment... cause thats how you will get the gun mount to be controled

VRWarper · Feb 23, 2003

That is impossible.... The only thing you can do is mount on a gun when the player gets in....

Hilikus · Feb 23, 2003

are you sure about that? sf has mounted mini guns on choppers controled by player.... if i can't be done script wise then i would have to find an alternative way.

edit: oh btw that tank above isn't even a model... its a building data... you won't be able to control that.

cool

That tank is a prefab, so the answer's no.

Screaming Fist made their own dts model, not worldcraft ones.

Why is he making it in worldcraft... Isn't that only for static objects?

VRWarper · Feb 23, 2003

the chainguns might have been mounted on when the player got on the craft :/?

yeah I remember me and hosed had quite a few long conversations about how to do turrets on a vehicle in T1.

What you have to do is define the turret as a player then when the vehicle is spawned, then spawn the turret in the mount slot they belong.

Couple of things. I don't think they ever got it to be automated the only thing I remeber is when you mounted the vehicle you would then take control of the turret.

On a side note after I helped them with the flak turret I started doing experiments on making a mounted turret with the player sitting in it. That does work but you can not have the turret move from it's position. Only swivel and stuff.
