Question about turrets firing arcs

Post by keen320 »

Is there any way to get a turreted weapon to face forward by default, but have a firing arc that goes to the side? I think it would be cool if I could make some ships with large sponsoon guns, but right now the guns would point out straight from the hull, which looks ugly, or the guns would turn inward and fire through the ship, which looks stupid. Is there any easy way to do this? Otherwise I think I might be able to fake it with triggers, but that might be a pain. And I'm feeling lazy right now. :)

Unfortunately, sponson weaponry can't be achieved yet.

Previous attempts have used extensive trigger work and moving sections to control firing arcs.

These only work for a few moments before the whole thing falls apart.
Realism, seriously? It's a space ship game. Realism was thrown out the window a long time ago.
