I hope it helps

I think it would be more efficient to do it with data editor, and it might not be so hard if someone would just teach me how to do it properly :<.

Anyway thx for 2nd choise option. Maybe I will use that if I cant get some data editor expert to help me

@zenx1: Go

There is a tutorial on here somewhere teaching how to do it with the data editor, ill search it for you.

I've done this before, trying to see what I did compared to what you did.

Edit:

I can't figure out whats different, if I find out - I'll let you know.

Edit2:

Uploaded the map if you want to take a look.

I got some idea where the problem could be, but I got no idea how can you link the launch site to the model...cant find any even that would do it

The attack actor:

If I could link the events to the turret model I think I could then place the launch site to the turret. At the moment (Effect.MissileLaunch start (event), At caster(term), create (action). So I quess it link to the model of the unit im using and not the turret.

Only speculating, not really sure if that is the problem, since I saw no sollution to this.

• edit* Well atleast I noticed the difference. You are using beams instead of missiles in your example. It might be the only way to do it, since I have only seen beams working with attached units...

@zenx1: Go

There was that difference, I thought it was unimportant. If that's the case though - that kinda sucks.

I tried making beam myself, but I failed again....I just dont get why cant I attach the shooting point properly. If I adjust launch attacments+ from attack actor I can change the missiles place a bit, but not to the turret attachments place. And I tought you could use site actor to configure the attachment point, but its not doing the right thing...ARFAF I want this to work....Here is beam example:

Well I figured out how I can get the beam working. You need to have something in LAUNCH ASSETS+ and IMPACT MAP+, I tought they didnt matter at all. And in the missile case filling those things didnt help at all...

Well im atleast happy that after 4 days i finally got almost working turret on a unit, it just doesnt rotate I quess....I might still look into the missile case and try to fill other stuff too and see if it helps anything...

• edit* and the turret doesnt yet fire when unit is moving...gona try to fix that too

@zenx1: Go

Turret rotation isn't too hard. My map has that. There's a "turret" type actor that needs to be created.

@Grogian: Go

Thx man! That example really helped alot! Now if someone else wants to look at my epic turret carrying marine, you can dl the map :D.

The movement of marine is bugged at some point when the laser thing shoots. If you got idea how to fix it, pls tell. I will also try to looks if I can fix it myself.
