TurretOffset problem

freedom fighter · General **Joined**: 14 May 2009

I'm starting to familiarize with the TurretOffset= tag in artmd.ini. I've always positioned the turrets of my voxels in the center, with the main body moved a bit so that the turret spins properly while being in a certain position such as on the back of a Technical Truck. Problem is when the vehicle turns. It looks so unrealistic when it turns. So I've decided to use the tag. I've positioned the turret of my new battleship in the center of the base voxel. In artmd.ini, I've set the TurretOffset= to 30. But ingame, the turret is still in the center of the ship. Set the tag to 50, still no different:/ Could anyone tell me whats wrong?

TurretOffset is measured in leptons. You need bigger numbers to get a significantly noticeable difference.

For example the TurretOffset for the HTK in artmd.ini is -80.

Try 500

I think that'll be disconnected from the body.

But it would change the location. #Tongue

Depends how big it is, I have to use offsets that big on the D-day battleships. Anyway I was just sarcastically saying it needs to be bigger etc.

Moving a turret in the hva doesn't effect it's center of rotation & so can make it look really fugly when turning.

I thought the hva editor could confusingly also adjust the bounds for the voxel to adjust the turret height and such?

Yes it can but the bounds don't effect the center of rotation either, they basically do the same thing as the hva & just offset it from the center on the vxl.
