Is the one on the right a preview from hva-builder? It looks like the VSE preview.
Open the voxel in hva-builder and then align the sections there.
btw, i think you'll get some visibility bugs due to the U-shaped turret which should have the barrel in between the U.
Afaik the engine, it can sort the visibility layer only section-wise and not on a per-voxel-scale. Thus you'll have on some directions the barrel covering the U and on others the U correctly covering the barrel.
Though i can be wrong on this one and it should be tested first. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Its from the HVA Builder Screenshot. Yeah its all aligned properly already but the voxel in-game turns into the one on the left.
Though I've already made a remake of it with the turret facing flat instead of a diagonal arc ( ) But at least this one would be easier since its just one whole voxel and not sectioned. _________________ ~ Excelsior ~ QUICK_EDIT
wait, so your saying that the turret is one vxl and not sections? and it's seperating in game like it is sections? You sure it's only one vxl? I think it would be kind of impossible to do that if its just one solid vxl. _________________

^^As he said, it's one voxel with multiple sections.
A voxel=the file (or a single 3d volume pixel)
A section=part of the file
It's just a classic bad aligned hva issue of a multisection voxel.
@Noodle: to work ingame, isn't it necessary to separate turret and barrel into 2 voxel anyway? Not sure about animated grand cannon turrets, but normal turrets need a ***tur.vxl and a ***barl.vxl
If you really want to keep the multisection voxel, then delete the hva and create a new one. Maybe your hva is corrupt.
Or download the newest hva-builder. IIRC some older version had issues like this. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Well my original plan was to just use multi-sections since it'll provide a much smoother surface on each section. (Diagonal Voxels tend to have step-ladder effect) But yeah, i've been experimenting some more and it just seems to be not worth it for such a small thing.
I'm using OS HVA Builder 2.1, The Latest one I think from the links provided here... _________________ ~ Excelsior ~ QUICK_EDIT
The game tilts the barrel automatically, if the barrel is present in a separate ***barl.vxl file.
This way the barrel will also follow the logic of the weapon (arcing, lobber or straight line shooting weapon) and tilt accordingly. Yours will stay in a fixed angle which will surely look wrong sometimes. You also won't see a recoil effect on your barrel. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Ended up using the way the vanilla was made. This one just has a bigger FireAngle and HVA Placement now.
On some directions, namely the "SE" & "SW" directions. The Barrel looks off (as shown in its "SW" View in the Screenshot) other directions are fine. It's only those 2 Main Directions which look off. _________________ ~ Excelsior ~ QUICK_EDIT
Made a Gatling Sub, The Turrets are supposed to simulate the top section to flip open from the top and show the actual weapon.
Files are:
gatsub
gatsubtur (This one is actually a 1x1x1 Blank Voxel)
gatsubtur1(straight upward)
gatsubtur2 (diagonal upward)
gatsubtur3 (straight forward like normal turrets)
The Dummy Weapons are weapons which deal no damage and are just there to keep the unit on target until it transitions fully to the final real weapon.
The HVAs are positioned correctly, The Weapon works fine. The Turret just doesn't "transform"

Hold on, I don't see in your code that you put the name of the voxel turret, or having isvoxelturret or something set to yes, I think it's using the default grand cannon's barrel, check it out. _________________ Modelling an infantry unit for TS/Ra2/Yr with 3dsmax (Tutorial):
