How do I allow units to deploy more than one autoturret without the previous one blowing up?

Ahh thanks

which ofd is this in? i've gone through all the "weap_inf_autoturret_dispenser" and "com_weap_inf_autoturret_dispenser" odfs and changed the only one in the "imp" side file that had "MaxItems" but it didn't change anything ingame. is there another odf i'm over looking or do i need to put that code into one of the odfs? and if so, do i include "WeaponDispenser"?

i've been trying for 2 days to go to the site you linked to, but it keeps saying "unable to connect". it keeps "timing out".

The parameters I listed apply to weapon classes with the ClassLabel "dispenser".

Generally it's easiest to put the parameter in the weapon ODF that the unit class is calling for - so if it's calling for "cis_weap_inf_autoturret_dispenser" you'd put it in "cis_weap_inf_autoturret_dispenser".

With that said, it's technically not *required* that it's done in the child ODF (in this case, "cis_weap_inf_autoturret_dispenser"); if it has a parent ODF (such as "com_weap_inf_autoturret_dispenser") then you can put it in that ODF instead, but do note that all parameters in the child ODF will override those in the parent ODF - so if "cis_weap_inf_autoturret_dispenser" contained `MaxItems = 1` and "com_weap_inf_autoturret_dispenser" contained `MaxItems = 3`, `MaxItems = 1` would be used instead because it's overriding the parameters in its parent ODF. Does that make sense?
