Post Turret Tilting
Alright, I have absolutely no idea why, but my turret tilts whenever I look left or right, if I look right my turret tilts left, vise versa. I looked at the coalition's gatling turret and it didn't do it so I decided to work off of that (because I used the dummy turret as a base before). After I made it look right again, it did the same thing (FUUU).

So.. what exactly is making my turret tilt?

I can provide picture if needed to show what I mean.

EDIT: Pics

I forgot the mention one thing though, if I 'move' left or right then the turret stays flat on the ground.

Well, it shouldn't happen on flat terrain.

I can take a look at it if you want, I've no actual experience in fixing this kind of thing, but I can read every line to see what could be the issue. and compare it to other turrets.

My guess is it has something to do with the offsets of the dummy 'feet' or perhaps the spriteoffset of the base piece, since that's the center of mass relative to the rest of the sprite.

the dummy SMG turret has always been a chodebag to me, it tilts in a random direction whenever I do just about anything with it. as for the coalition turret, that one has two legs, so it's more stable.

You could always give it two legs but no walk paths.
