So i've been following Bifuu's hero tutorial, and i've been tinkering around with the weapon items. I've tried making a few different weapons, and I thought it would be cool if I could get my hero to shoot while moving, because apparantly thats what turrets do. So i tried making an item that equips the Hellion flame thrower weapon, but for some reason it doesn't work. So my first question is, does anyone know how to make this work? And secondly is it possible to make any weapon function like a turret, so i can make it possible for my hero to run and shoot with any weapon?
go to the weapon in the data editor, set "allowed movement" to "moving" and in "options +" uncheck "only fire while attacking" and "only fire at attack target"
There were only 3 changes to make, im sure i did it right. Do you have an example map you could send me? Maybe its because im equipping the weapon via item?
EDIT: strange i just tried using a regular hellion and he doesnt shoot while moving...i thought turret weapons were supposed to have that ability.
Not that I know of. Turrets = turning head to face a unit.
You're thinking of the weapon field called "Legacy" or w/e it's called... I believe that legacy means default no moving, and the other setting is like the phoenix and can shoot while moving. In fact, just look at the phoenix's weapon :D
