Make your rotor a voxel turret and add TurretSpins=yes to its rules.

Isn't the Siege Choppers turret the Big Gun on it?

the rotor blades fold and form that 155mm artillery gun..mmm..i'm just puzzled..

yep..it could work as Tratos said..

in the case of the Siege Chopper..w/c is a hovering jumpjet..that is DeployToLand=yes.. it is a voxel and it is not split..it means that the rotors are not declared as Turret..it has a .SHP deploy animation sequence so it could deploy to land and transform into a artillery..

Helicopter rotors are usually separate sections in the same voxel(like the legs on mechs). In ART.ini you have to add rotors=yes to the entry for the helicopter.

Was the deployed SC a SHP or a Voxel? I forgot. If SHP, you could make a rotor animation, if a voxel just add a new section and HVA it.

the deployed Siege Chopper is a .SHP file including the deploying sequence itself..

the siege chopper deployanim is shp, but the deployed siege chopper is vxl. it just features a vxl turret instead of a rotor vxl.

Yeah, you'd have to change the deployanim, so I'd consider if it's really worth the effort to make it rotate while on the ground (plus, it's unlogic, the gunsticks out

).
