So I'm still playing with my uber unit, (massive flying juggernaut of death about the size of a command center

), and I need confirmations on what can be done.

I want to have some weapons on it that can only aim and fire in directions other than straight.

I'm thinking I'll have to put some structures on it to accomplish this, but for a better idea of what I need, here's a couple of the weapons that I'm talking about:

I want to have several machine gun weapons mounted on it, but some I want to mount some on the side and have them basically firing sideways at flanking units.

I also want to have a missle weapon that fires only at a fixed odd angle (backwards and facing down some) but be able pick a target regardless of it's position so long as it is in range.

Finally, I want to have a missle weapon that shoots a burst in a wide spread pattern, like within a 120 degree cone.

I can code pretty well, but I haven't done these yet so ideas are welcome and greatly appreciated.

If any of this can be done, I'll be a happy camper.
