Enabling Turrets On Vehicles

Post by Epifire »

I have been working with some modding buddies and we were quite lost when it came to creating turrets on vehicles. Ones that would actually swivel, and ones that you could man and aim your self.

All I wanted to know was the basic steps on how to add turrets that would work like that.

Perhaps this should be moved to the modding section.

Well what ever works, I thought that this would still count as modeling due that it is a vehicle that is being modeled and animated.

Why move it?

Anyway look in the XSI FAQ at the turret tutorial, sure it is for land based turrets but the principle is the same for one mounted on a vehicle.
