17:29.11mrapplecomputer1hmm i need some help with turrets
17:29.18mrapplecomputer1i have 6 turrets on each side of the map
17:29.21mrapplecomputer16 for blue
17:29.23mrapplecomputer16 for red
17:29.26mrapplecomputer1red works fine
17:29.29mrapplecomputer1but blue not so much
17:29.41mrapplecomputer1you have to be facing backwards to get them to fire at red base
17:29.44mrapplecomputer1ideas?
17:30.20mrapplecomputer1heres the code: http://pastebin.com/d71b617aa
17:30.57mrapplecomputer1if you need me say mrapplecomputer1 come here!
17:35.06blast007tried switching the angleExtent around for blue?
17:35.32mrapplecomputer1blast007: yep
17:35.45mrapplecomputer1blast007: ill try again but i switched the - and the +
17:35.50blast007k
17:35.59blast007probably not it then
17:36.17blast007have a link to the plugin?
17:37.27mrapplecomputer1now the turrets dont work at all  in the blue base
17:37.45mrapplecomputer1blast007: i downloaded a compiled .so and it works, red bases is firing lazers :D
17:38.00blast007there's a 'rotation' option for the zones
17:38.03mrapplecomputer1should i be switching the tiltExtent as well?
17:38.08mrapplecomputer1i tried rotation
17:38.10mrapplecomputer1no cigar
17:38.14blast007what value did you try?
17:38.20mrapplecomputer1rotation 180
17:38.25mrapplecomputer1or for tilt?
17:38.36blast007no, for rot
17:38.46mrapplecomputer1yah i did rotation 180
17:39.21blast007not sure then
17:39.38mrapplecomputer1hmmmm
17:40.20blast007I haven't personally used the plugin
17:40.53mrapplecomputer1hmmm
17:41.11mrapplecomputer1you see i tried everything you said, common sense, and cant figure it out...... hmmmm
17:41.35mrapplecomputer1i did read the readme too :P
17:41.37mrapplecomputer1nothing there
17:45.11mrapplecomputer1one other question
17:45.15mrapplecomputer1lets say i have a box
17:45.19mrapplecomputer1position 0 0 0
17:45.24mrapplecomputer1size 5 5 10
17:45.36mrapplecomputer1and i want to put a texture turret on it?
17:45.42mrapplecomputer1how do i make it so you can drive over it
17:45.48mrapplecomputer1but it doesnt like flash
17:46.07blast007texture turret?
17:46.13mrapplecomputer1well any box really
17:46.31mrapplecomputer1if you put it at the same z value it like flashes
17:46.59blast007what is a texture turret?
18:01.46mrapplecomputer1arg they arent woring!!!! ahahahahahahha
18:05.40mrapplecomputer1i have tried rotating everything
18:05.43mrapplecomputer1hmmmmmmmmm
18:09.28mrapplecomputer1hmm blast look at what the debug printed out
18:09.31mrapplecomputer1Turret - DEBUG:  ---- Handling object: TURRETWEAPON ----
18:09.31mrapplecomputer1Turret - WARNING: Unknown property rotation, skipping.
18:09.45blast007it doesn't go in the weapon
18:09.47blast007it goes in the zone
18:09.51mrapplecomputer1i know i tried that too
18:09.59blast007you need it in the zone
18:10.13blast007and then you need to adjust whatever makes the weapon only shoot in certain directions
18:10.59mrapplecomputer1i tried all of that
18:11.07mrapplecomputer1i added the rotation, doesnt tchange a thing
18:11.35blast007I don't know
18:11.43mrapplecomputer1i think i need to modify something in the weapons tilitExt and angleExt
18:11.54blast007find out what they mean exactly
18:11.58blast007dive into the code
18:12.00blast007or the readme
18:18.35mrapplecomputer1omg i got it to work! :D
18:18.57mrapplecomputer1blast007: i changed every blue one to this
18:18.59mrapplecomputer1tiltExtent -360 360
18:18.59mrapplecomputer1angleExtent -360 360
18:19.07mrapplecomputer1now i just need to get the right angles put it....
18:30.55mrapplecomputer1i think this is what i need but i dont understand it  (x- = 180, y+ = 270, y- = 90).
19:14.52mrapplecomputer1i still can not figure this out :|
