Spawned model not rotating with turret

Has part of an experiment I have a tank which can spawn a gun (has a separate game object) using 'SpawnBehavior' module and a 'CombinedInfoModule' so it can dock to a bone (the bone information is correct).

My issue is that because the gun is attached to a bone on the tanks turret, the actual gun never turns when the tanks turret turns. It moves with the tank, but it is only in the correct position on the turret if the turret is facing forward.

The spawned gun has a 'SlavedUpdate' that has settings that mean that it cannot move about, yet I assumed that because it was supposed to be attached to a bone that was part of the tanks turret hierarchy, it would rotate along with the turret.

Is this normal behaviour for attached spawned models?

Is there some other way that I can get this to work?

Are all your bones correctly declared as extra public bones?
Also it indeed might have to do with the turret rotation not replicating on other things.
Also do you need it as a separate game object? A turret with its own AI update should suffice.

I will look into it further in the future.

I only declared the 'CombinedInfoModule' attach bone has an extra public bone.

There are advantages and disadvantages to having the gun has a separate object. One advatage is that because it is a separate object it can have its own weapon category (in this case a 'GUN' category vs the tanks 'CANNON' category) this means that the turret will always prefer infantry targets regardless of what the tank object is firing at.
While using special and object filters should allow a similar effect from a single 'GameObject', due to issues with the C&C3 weapon code, it never really works correctly especially when the weapons have differing ranges (the RA3 weapon code was a big improvement).

Anyway thanks for your input!
