Is there a way you can limit the angles that a turret is allowed to turn, have a look at the picture I attached... I want the Riot Truck to only shoot out the sides and the back, and not shoot through the cab, cause it looks dicky shooting thru the front (and its not physicially possible)

Anyone know if this can be fixed and if it can how do I do it?
~Thanks :/

I've asked this problem many times and people have only avoided answering. I know you can limit the pitch, but I have yet to find a way to limit the yaw.

I have been trying to find a unit that has its turret turn angle limited, If I can't find one then, I guess it can't be done...

[Wayne]

I had a really big stab in the dark and tried making up some code, like:

MinPhysicalTurn = 40

but that gave me an error like i expected it do to, if anyone has got turret limiting to work lemme know :dead:

These are all the turret related tags:

Turret
TurretTurnRate = 180
TurretPitchRate = 180
FirePitch = 45
AllowsPitch = Yes
MinPhysicalPitch = -20 ; If allows pitch, the lowest I can dip down to shoot. defaults to 0 (horizontal)
TurretFireAngleSweep = PRIMARY 8
TurretFireAngleSweep = SECONDARY 60
TurretSweepSpeedModifier = PRIMARY 0.5 ; Sweep slower than you turn
TurretSweepSpeedModifier = SECONDARY 2.0 ; Sweep faster than you turn
ControlledWeaponSlots = PRIMARY SECONDARY TERTIARY
RecenterTime = 5000 ; how long to wait during idle before recentering
NaturalTurretAngle = 0
NaturalTurretPitch = 45 ; this keeps it aimed half way between land and sky
MinIdleScanAngle = 30 ; in degrees off the natural turret angle
MaxIdleScanAngle = 60 ; in degrees off the natural turret angle
MinIdleScanInterval = 5000 ; in milliseconds
MaxIdleScanInterval = 10000 ; in milliseconds
FiresWhileTurning = Yes
InitiallyDisabled = Yes
GroundUnitPitch = 40
End

"NaturalTurretAngle = " allows you to define the initial position of the turret , so if you want it pointing at the back, just put 180 inthere....

I am however not sure you're able to actually enforce a firing angle limit...I think not, but would like to be prooven wrong... :/

[Wayne]

Yeah, I think we hit a missing feature here
My units will have to contine shooting thru their cockpits/cabs :scared:

Can't you raise the weapon so it fires above the cabine?

[Wayne]

It's really not that bigger deal, hey wait, I just jad an idea... if weapons require line of sight and unit firing the weapon gets in its own way would it then adjust itself, so that it can see the target? I'll try that and see how it goes...

[Wayne]

Ok That was just a stupid idea.. :tard:

I suppose he can raise the turret, but I can't because the model I have is based off of a real WW2 tank with multiple turrets. This is when I really wish he were given proper mod support with source code rather than this INI crap
