turret fires 'sideways'
I have one 'cruiser' sized ship that has a problem.  Two of it's turrets fire piranha missiles. The turrets themselves are positioned on the front left and right side of the ship, to fire forward. Except they both fire off to the right side of the ship at a 90 degree angle everytime.

Is this a pof issue or something else?

if they don't point straight up or straight down you need to give it fvec and uvec.

barrels sticking forward use

Code: [Select]
$uvec:0,0,1
$fvec:0,1,0

Re: turret fires 'sideways'
It works the same way on Deimos. Spawn weapons just work like that, dumbfiring along the normal, then detonating.
