To avoid turret shooting the fortress itself, you can check out Darlos' DS mod. It has these turrets that cannot fire at certain angles without restricting the turret's moving arc. I have no idea about coding so dunno if this will help.

Maybe it would be simpler to just restrict the aiming angle and use some Lua to flip the turret if it was looking the wrong way, wouldn't it? It would look more reallistic, as attached steam turrets shouldn't be able to turn 360º. Though, as everyone says, CC is not about realism.

Updated list of bugs:
-Crashes when restart button is pressed while the fortress is still in service.
-The fortress self-destructs upon delivery, does not cause a crash
-It will lose control on a regular/random basis, and needs to switch control to its other cannons/turrets to regain control.
-Crashes when it dies goes off screen boundary.
-Fortress self-destruct randomly while in use.
-Acquiring nearby units as its own turrets.
-Crashes if a game involving the fortress is quit, then a new game is started.
-Legs fail after a while of walking.


The restricted firing arc works badly in CC, namely does not tilt with the unit, and limited customization. It would be better to use Darlos' codes.

Besides, it's about making this thing cool, not realistic. And make the turrets face the right way will definitely make it cooler.

Hasn't crashed once for me when it dies. It doesn't move, and that is the only thing that bothers me. I changed the weight on most of the attachments to half of what they were, so I might try that out.

For the turret range thing, I tried this:

It works, but only when the turret is controlled by the player.

Why not just use the aimrange variable?

Whilst neither solution is perfect, it's the modder's decision what to use.

I have decided to put this project on hold until the next build. In the meantime I'll see if I can compile some of my old mods into one package.

Aw who knows how long it will take for another build to come out. I'm sad now

They just came out with one two months ago, but judging by the recent speeds of build releases, (and don't quote me on this), but I would guess within 3 months or so.

Well lessee...
We have Valve time, then Blizzard time, THEN we have Data Realms time. Sooo, ~3 months years months.

Amro's going to try to release all of his old mods now. Be glad.
His mods were amongst the best.

Make no mistake. I am. I have only heard tales of his wonderous mods (Because the links in the archives are broken They got fixed. Joy.), and they are all good tales indeed.

Will this be all of the A series? I absolutely loved the twin engines gunship thing with the molebomb.

Amro, it'd be neat if you fixed all the shortcomings of the A-series with lua.

For example, the digging rocket can have auto-scuttle disabled nowadays, with grif's plane code.
