[Turrets] The rotation always fucks up! :p

[CRiTTER]

Hey guys I'm new to the forum,

I just got engineer lvl2 so I have a turret, and I heard that there have been some changes to the turret yesterday.

You can't place them in mid-air anymore, well I can live with that, but I get sick of the rotation of my turret.

It looks like the rotation/angle of the turret is random? I want to be able to eg make it oversee a door or something, so I aim it that way. I would expect the turret to start 'scanning' that area now, but instead it aims at a completely different direction, so sometimes it aims at a wall etc.

How to fix/work around this?

Thanks.

doesn´t the turret turns arround 360° ?

But turrets need now some more power or a health regen and an longer range.

Placing them at walls would be cool too.

Btw: Welcome Critter

My turret 'scans' in a 180 degrees direction, so if I place it and it decides 'Lets rotate to the wall', it will rotate 90deg left, restore rotation (to the wall) and rotate 90deg right.

If a zombie comes close (but the zombie is outside his scanning area), it will start flipping because it's trying to both hit the zombie and stay inside it's area.

I remember you have a turret too Holy? You don't have any problems with it?

And thanks.

Ahem, so you expect to place them in mid-air like Holy does? over-seeing the entire zombie spawn..

Edit: Expect some changes to the class system .. and how their items work

Nope, I place them on the floor, I know that you can't place them in mid-air anymore.

They place fine, but they always scan a different area than I want them to do.

Example of me placing a turret at the top of a ladder.

The green arrow is the direction I was looking to when I placed the turret. The red area is the area it starts to scan.

It should scan the area I aimed in instead of setting a random angle.

Turrets need to be like in HL2:

Can be placed, Cant rotate, Cant Float And can actuallty shoot stuff.

?

I agree with Hundy for the HL2 turret, it can rotates but only on 90 degrees, and it should be like in MW2, if you want it to aim somewhere else you have to carry it and turn it etc...

That was the original concept, ( from Clavus ) but I had trouble setting up so it attacks the right players. ( I sorted that problem out recently .. )

[Holy]

if you add the hl2 turret take the idea of nugget please !

[Deluvas]

I can't edit that turret. It's hard coded into the game. I can only set what players to attack. That's it. ( and make a Pick-Up system or something )

pickup system would be good
