How do i animate the turret's on my defence structure's. Kinda like they move around like Yuri's gattling cannon

well you need many turrets with barrels and change each turret with the animation you want. BUT ITS IMPORTAINT NOT to have more than 20 other wise you get EPIC LAG.

Note :you need the same barrels to line up same as the turrets have to be in the exactly the same.

for example

TankTur
TankTur0
TankTur1
TankTur2
TankTur3
etc...

open up both the Gatlin and the Grand Cannon with the HVA Builder and take a looksie at how they have the frames put together. But let me tell ya, this isnt an easy task if you've never done it before. The order of the turrets are backwards, so if you have a total of 10 turrets you must put them in backwards, for instance your list will read like this

turret10 <--- this will be your first animation
turret09
turret08
turret07
and so forth

also you only need to make 1 hva file, then take that hva file and make 9 more copies of it and rename them. this will insure that all your turrets are in the same position. If you want it to recoil use the grand cannon's code, or for the other option the gatlin codes.

actually what I just explained is for vehicles, for building defences, I think you just need to use the codes that are in the rules.ini
