Title: Moving misc_turret?
Post by: MakeCents on April 02, 2014, 06:40:21 pm

Can someone point me in a direction in which I could learn, if this is possible, how to make a misc_turret move? I have a script_brushmodel that moves around and an auto turret system. I would like to add/link an auto turret to the brushmodel. Everything I tried so far either renders the turret useless, doesn't move the turret and sometimes the brushmodel, or the turret just disappears.

Thanks!

select the turret and press 'N' then click where it says classname misc_turret or what ever and change it to this:
Key: classname
vaule: script_turret

then give it a targetname  and get the entity in the gsc..
and now you can do moveY with this model.. etc.

Let me rephrase it:
A misc_turret already is an entity accessible by script, so I would not see why one would have to change the classname to 'script_turret'. Furthermore, I have not seen a classname of 'script_turret' being available in Radiant. Therefore, I want to express my doubt regarding the functionality of your provided solution and hereby ask for test results to show that it does work.

Thank you very much,
- Phil.

SOLVED

I found this link (http://www.zombiemodding.com/index.php?topic=10995.msg119975#msg119975) using linkto in a script, tried it, and there you go.

        thingtolinkto = getent("thingtolinkto", "targetname"); //get the thing you want to link to while it moves
	turret = spawnTurret( "misc_turret", thingtolinkto.origin + (0,0,20), "mg42_bipod_stand" ); //adjust position
	turret setModel("mounted_ger_mg42_bipod_mg"); //set model
	//other settings...
	turret linkto(thingtolinkto); //This is the magic line to make it work
	turret.targetname = "auto_mg"; //added this and now my auto turret system uses it
