Somehow the Normal (light blue) edges fucked up so I've updated the zip file with fixed sprites. Yes I know it'll look a bit weird in explorer and what have you but they work fine in BSF and SM.

Just remember you need to set the shield blend modes to additive, and you should probably set them as the topmost layer, with every weapon layered so they don't appear to be sitting on the shield.

New turrets!

Well, kinda new, anyway.

Get 'em here!

Includes all of the last set of turrets, possibly some new ones, almost all SWA-ized. Guns not included!

See first post for demonstration of how to use the multi-piece turrets.

Yes, they're essentially the L/R H Railguns spliced together.

The sawnoff barrel's rotation point is the left end of the barrel you see there, so it should rotate alright if you need it to rotate for whatever reason, so long as it's properly positioned. Better off put in turrets though.

Moar TURRETS!

With Cheesy's permission, I tweaked his turret and made a few different versions for multi-section turret purposes. If you've used my 03 or the large/medium/small turrets before, you know how to use them.

All turrets have properly centered rotation and scaling! Each top plate (there's three types) comes in three flavours; stock grey/blue with markings, greyscale with markings, and greyscale without markings.

Baseplate; parent weapons to this and depth them, then add one of the top plates!
Image

Marking; add as a doodad section (because doodads on rotating sections are broken) and additive or alpha it for extra colour on the 3rd variant of all turrets.
Image

Type 1 Cover:

Type 2 Cover:

Type 3 Cover:

Demos;

Type 3 greyscale with additive custom blue markings:
Image

Type 3 grey-blue with stock markings:
Image

All credit ought to go for Cheesy for making them in the first place. They work pretty well with HorseMonster's weapons, and, as you can see, my autocannons.

Enjoy!

Get it now!

They arnt all that hard to make work, first build a baseplate section, then build a weapon off of that, blasters work well, make the blaster alpha 0, and set it to not fire (under edit2).
Next select the baseplate and right click the weapon and use set driver.

This will make the baseplate section rotate to be the same dir the weapon would be, so it can track enemy craft.

then build your other weapons and turret stuff on top of that baseplate all parented to eachother or the baseplate, so that the baseplate is the ancestor of all the turret sections. If it dies the whole lot goes. the just fiddle with the weapons until they barely move at all, or better yet don't move.
Then try out in game

When i set the blaster on Alpha 0, it disappears, it shows if my mouse hover over it but not if im not hovering on it don't know if that should be happening

when i select the bas eplate and right click the blaster, i get no set driver options

and i can't parent weapons with other weapons, or if theres a way, i don't know how

Blaster at alpha 0 does make it invisible. Alpha is percentage from 1 to 0 of how see through it is.

it should be the 7th option right under clear triggers and above Set on trigger 1

You parent the weapons to the baseplate or to a section parented to the baseplate

No problem, im glad to help people build better ships =)

I don't want the gun to be invisible ,i still want it to be visible

its not the 7th option that is there, but between Clear triggers and set on trigger 1 the 5th option is set link

i don't know how to parent a weapon to the baseplate itself


il try to describe what i do and tell me what i do wrong
i grab a blaster, change its sprite to a baseplate, from then i grab another blaster thats parent to the same section the baseplate is.From that point i try to do what you tell me to,
