Command & Conquer Generals Modding - Turrets and Turret Stuff (part 2)
The initial video missed some basics which I never thought of. It also didn't contain the more complex methods of working turret spawning. The intention was to bundle them in to more videos, but it became apparent that... they should have been in the first video!
This is mostly how many broken things I've tried to get multiple turrets working. A fraction of what I tried and none of the swearing. Broken assets are included in the downloads if anyone wants to try to get them working.
There are 2 working systems for advanced turret spawning. With these methods the turrets are spawned as new objects and 100% (ish) will target accurately:
- Vehicles should use OverlordContain
-- Limited to 2 turrets, not including AltTurret (could in theory make 4)
- Structures should use SpawnBehavior
-- Unlimited turrets
-- Turrets align to ground so we need to offset the turret meshes
-- Can not be used on vehicles, the turrets won't move
...there's also the 'AltTurret' system. Thought we found out in the first video it doesn't really work.

-- The fix is to not do it!
08:07 - 11:49

-- Talks over the GLA Technical and how it spawns turrets which are slightly offset but also animated
11:49 - 21:59
-- For vehicles (woking)
-- OverlordContain using 2 turrets and 6 unique weapons

-- For vehicles (broken)
-- OverlordContain multiple turrets using upgrades spawning from the same base unit
25:06 - 27:44
-- For vehicles (broken)
-- OverlordContain multiple turrets using upgrades chain spawning from the previous upgrade
-- Insanity
27:44 - 29:03
-- Maybe drones can be made to work?
-- ...no they can't, do do it
-- Stupid idea with no example downloads!
29:03 - 37:37
