| Post subject: | Useable Turrets? |
Is it even possible? I know turrets are possible, so are vehicles, but how about putting an actor inside one of those? I'm bringing this up because I'm making a Halo mod (which is actually coming along quite nicely) and was wishing to add the turrets. And potentially vehicles... Would it just be better to make a turret with a marine already built into the sprite and have it gib into a marine and the ripped-off turret? If so, is there any easy way to add the dropship's scuttle option to the turret? making the turret out of a dropship is kinda lame. EDIT: Just got a brainflash, what if when you approached it, it pinned your actor then transferred control over to the turret? And if you tried to select it, it would just push you off? I know the pinning part is doable because somebody (Lafe?) made a pinning-anti-dumbass-AI-oshitthere'sadudemustcrouch machine which, when you had sentry AI on and walked into it it grabbed your actor then pinned him (her). |

Yes. All the things you asked are possible and don't require extensive shenanigans to make work. |

well, which one would be easier? including an actor in the sprite or actually making the get in mechanism? i assume the latter would be some kind of *if blah, then actor pos x,y?* |

can i make an example turret, publish it, and you can use the source code? i think i have an idea of how to make one via actor checking. |
