Well, it isn't that complicated, but the main problem is to make it move naturally, as if it was a non-lua attachable...

You'll probably need Lua. I'm not an expert, and wouldn't know the exact method, but I'm pretty sure it involves attaching an ACrab to the ship, and making them not able to move. |

From an expert: Make a functionally aiming base class. Usually this is an ACrab for simplicity, but it's not the only way to do it. Use trigonometry to, through lua, perform a "pseudo-attachment;" that is, update the position of the turret relative to the rotation and velocity of the parent dropship. It's quite simple if you know lua. |

I find that the best way to learn anything in Cortex Command is to just look at someone else's attempts. As well intended and still very much helpful as advice from the Mod Making forums is, it's generally pretty hard to absorb and process if you're starting with a blank ini. Download a mod with a dropship that has a gun attached to it and just pour through the scripting. Change stuff around, see what breaks it and try and figure out why it broke. I don't think anyone would even mind if you just started by respriting someone else's gun mounted drop ship (giving them credit, of course), and then moving on to change more physical attributes. |

That is a heavy machine gun, large shells, deadly bullets, fast fire rate. |
