Help with Defense Platform
As some of you know, I am working on a defense platform for TWM called the guardia. Previously, it used a function that spawned projectile objects. Well, I got bored of that, so I decided to spawn a turret on it instead. However, it doesn't seem to want to work for me. The Platform spawns alright, and I can see the turret. When it gets near a target it activates as if it were to fire. I'm not sure if this is working. I need to know how to flip the turret upside down so it is on the bottom of the platform making it easier to fire at targets:
here is my code:

Comments
Yea, now that you mention it, the code seems like the Sentinel code. I saw some of it in older posts in ACCM.
Phantom, platforms normally don't move... Just to let you know.
Technically it would set that to the defualt rotation, but only because you didn't set the X Y Z modifiers that the 100 would transform.
Yes, rotation is the way to go if it's a stationary object. However, since it's a vehicle and you've got the turret attached to a mount node, you can resize it, but you can't mess with the position/rotation.
You could flip the vehicle itself upside down, mount it on something else, or use your own targetting system.
I told you before I was working on a sentinel like vehicle. The whole idea is neat.
Sorry DX. I wrote this thing without any other sources.
Apparently I cant flip the turret on the vehicle. How do I flip the vehicle?
And yeah, I know my sentinels sucked, but they were funny
Rofl..
Are you just going to PM / Email me it to me when you are done?
I try...
