Need help determining the turret's location.

I really want to put that Sentry Gun turret on that circled part however I'm confused on determining the correct values of TurretAnimX, TurretAnimY, TurretAnimZAdjust as no matter what values I change, I still couldn't get close to that circled part. This is more confusing to me than determining FLH values for a primary/secondary weapon.

EDIT: I don't remember if it starts at the center of the building (like docking offset) or the top corner. I'm looking at NALASR and it's adjusting only vertical... so it should be the same as the muzzle flash locations, plus the ZAdjust value to bring it above the rest of the building, that's probably where you're gonna have issues, the Z...

Try making the man building invisible except the location of the turret and see if you can nail the X/Y first, then play with the Z.

TurretAnimX/Y starts at the top corner of the building (center of the shp file) & is measured in pixels, so you just need to open the file in an image editor & count how many pixels it is from the center of the image.
