Is there a way to assign empty turrets to a team?

An example of what I mean is during the Mygeeto campaign, the particle cannon turrets on the sides of the bridge are automatically on the CIS team and fire at the LAATs above w/o having a CIS unit inside them.

How would I go about setting up something like this?

You would need to give the turret a PilotType = "self" and also assign it to the team you want it on in ZeroEditor.

Ah, so there's no way to do this other than in ZeroEditor?

That's correct. You have to put the turrets in ZE anyways, what's the problem?

W-ell, I'm tinkering around with modding on consoles, so I can't use ZeroEditor to edit the stock maps.

I wanted to try to make the remote turrets in space have the PilotType = "self" property and then set them onto a specific team, but alas, I can't apparently.

Thanks for your help.

Read the scripting doc. You can change the team of things through the Lua. You can use SetObjectTeam() or SetProperty().

I've tried both SetProperty and SetObjectTeam like this:

("tur_bldg_spa_rep_beam", Team, 1)

However, neither of them worked.

Any ideas?

Have you tried.. ? Well? Maybe it will work

I tried it just now, but it didn't work, unfortunately. -_-

Whether or not I defined the turrets PilotType to "self" yet shouldn't matter should it? Even if I haven't told it to pilot itself, if I entered the "SetObjectClass" in correctly, the turret would still be on the team that I told it to be on, right?

Team is the name of the property you are changing, thus it is a string: SetProperty("tur_bldg_spa_rep_beam", "Team", 1) and SetProperty("tur_bldg_spa_rep_beam", "PerceivedTeam", 1)
