P.s. to the coders out there: Were trying to drop a turret on !drop and to start it on !on.

!on makes you get stuck where you are and lets you remote control the turret. If you have an idea how to code that, help us out and let me or tcsoccerman24 know!

Excellent, looking forward to seeing it done.

Make the turrets attachable by 1 ship? So if you drop a turret, you can "hop in" and control it. Then make it match the rotation of whomever is attached.

[»Purge]

That would mean the person attached would take damage, so prize shields to avoid too much damage. Alternatively, you can lower weapon damage on the attached person's client.

 

But Creatix wants this concept "remote controlled", so I don't think attaching to the turret would look too remote.

[tcsoccerman]

What do you think creatix?

[Hakaku]

Although even if you didn't use the attach, you could still copy the person's rotation.

[Dr Brain]

Just seemed like an easy way to stop them from moving, which seemed to be what CreatiX wanted. If you don't care about them drifting, just copy the rotation from p->position.rotation and shoot periodically.

[tcsoccerman]

As it is now, we are copying the "commander"'s rotation, except you have to be in a certain region. then when you shoot, (on item eating tiles) a function is called to create and send a similiar weapon packet to where the turret is. Now to move the turret around would be easy, but too be able to command the turret not in that region (and item eating tiles) would be difficult. Is it even possible to remove a packet? I suppose you could set the bullet distance for that player to 0 but that is a problem because other people will see the bullet distance as usual (you know this already).

I can't wait in till its %100 !!
