Title: Need help with Turrets :)
Post by: The Claw on March 12, 2001, 03:32:00 pm: Well, I've looked through the archives both here and in the VBB, an I can't find an answer to me problem, so here goes...
When I add a turret (with Kazans pof editter), it doesn't matter what sub-object I use as it's parents (or whatever) when I get in game, it's in the middle of the hull. I can't seem to change it's position or anything, and it's starting to annoy me.

Post by: The Claw on March 13, 2001, 12:08:00 pm: Ok, I think i've tracked the origin of the problem down to the sub-object offset values- all of which are at 0. When I change this value is Segeltuch, it moves the mesh... I dunno what's going on guys. The bloody things fire, but since they're half way inside the model it's unreliable when they get a LOS on a target, you can't really target individual ones cause the marking box doesn't move... what the hell is going on?!?!?!?
