So how about some turrets that are bunker modules that NEED to be controlled by an actor?

I mean, sure, we're all in the future and stuff, and we don't need such thing (or do we?) but I'd like to see something like that.

Any takers? :D

Code:
function Update(self)
if self:GetController().InputMode ~= 1 then
self:GetController().InputMode = 3
end
end


Attach to an actor, it won't do anything unless controlled. Darkstorm has mid-game deployable bunker module style turrets.
Other than that it's simply disabling the AI

Well, what I meant is like the hoverboard... You know, it has to have an actor to get it to run. So...

Wait....

It's kinda stupid if you think about it... I mean, you're a brain that can mind control people AND robots. And there's a gun that you have to control through a person...
Why not just control it directly, right?
Haha.
Even still, I want a gun that you have to control with an actor.

Thanks for trying though :D

Oh, so you mean a turret that you control through an actor?
In that case then the lua mod would suit you. There's a veichle control one so look at that to see how that was made.

EDIT: I think that was the spelling mistake, control was spelt controll

So now I actually need to know how to make a bunker module turret. Haha.

Just make a bunker module and add a pinned actor to it (a crab with a turret) and place it, Darkstorm is a prime example of this.

Samohan you can't even speak english stop trying to offer modding help, please.

OP, this is a pretty common request, I'm not sure if anyone has really done it *well*, but between TLB, Zalo, Cavecricket, various others and myself, something'll probably get done eventually.

I'm not going to claim to know anything more about scripting than Somohan, but isn't amrobotics' "Steam Howitzer A-2" from amrobotics a pretty good display of what this guy's looking for? I mean, minus the legs of course.
