could someone please tell me what the code is that is used to limit the turning capabilities of a turret. I have been looking but i just see turnrate , and as fas as I know , that is for the speed.

I got all these models with unreal turn rates on the turret

Well, I can a help you a second time. But sadly, I do not believe there is any way to restrict a turrets turning capabilities. I would know this because I had a similar discussion and it came back negative.

[goblinsleez]

OK , thanks , how bout limiting wether they can fire if not aligned properly ?

  AcceptableAimDelta  =

Ahhh , TY again (I do use the search button eh, but I tell you , I get nothing everytime)

That's different though. That allows the weapon to fire at an angle from the barrel. But it doesn't actually restrict the movement of the barrel itself. That's impossible (and it's a long-time thorn-in-the-eye for a lot of modders).

[AntiSocialKindaGuy]

Yeah, it urinates in my eyes all the damn time, so I'm forced to use AcceptableAimDelta.

Just out of interest, is it an angle or a radius? I assumed a radius, but I haven't tested it that deeply.

[CodeCat]

No, it's an angle. And angle and a radius are two very different things. AcceptableAimDelta is the maximum angle between the direction of the turret's/unit's firepoint bone and the direction of the target. If the target is within AcceptableAimDelta degrees of the firepoint's direction, then the unit can fire. If it's not, it can't fire, so it will have to turn.

[AntiSocialKindaGuy]

Don't worry, I know angle and radius aren't the same, I do degree level maths :P Anyhow, thanks for the answer to which it is.

[Alphathon]

Well if you do Degree lavel maths, then why do you need to ask-you should know that a DELTA is a kinda pointy thing, ie an angle
