I've a few modding questions that I've been trying to work out on my own for a while now without any luck, so I was wondering if anyone could help me with them.

1.) How do I create a turret on top of a turret that won't inherit it's parent turret's rotation, but will move with it? For instance, I've been trying to create a machine gun turret on top of the main gun turret of a tank, but the MG turret is always facing the wrong way when firing because it adds the main turret's rotation angle to its own. Like the Overlord's gattling turret.

2.) How do I set a custom camera hight for shell maps that doesn't use default (max) setting, as defined in GameData.ini?

3.) How do I set up a suicide OCL that doesn't make a "Unit Lost" audio to play? I'm trying to create a "deploy" unit that uses a suicide weapon and an OCL to create the deployed unit, but I always get the Unit Lost played when it happens. Is it possible to circumvent this, or am I just SOL?

Thanks in advance to any advice or help.
