...try asking this in the scripting forum...maybe someone will answer it there...i really don't know, sorry.

you do mean making a brick (call it A) and a button that when pressed makes brick A fire, right? If so;

1)Create your turret brick, and button brick
2)Name your turret brick, Turret (or whatever you wish to name it)
3)event the button to say;
   
On Activate-->Named Brick-->Fire Projectile-->[][][]
                           Turret             Gun Bullet


That should do it for a turret, but if you want one that tracks the player, you need an Add-On, which im afraid you will need to search for

i mean rapid fire so if u activate it it keeps firing even if u don't activate it

Mix it with relays.

[nick92675]

how do u do that.  I know i sound like an idiot but i don't really use events in this way

[Kalphiter]

Oh, if you use OnActivate it's impossible, because you can't fire a relay on a player.

[Kalphiter]

You could use OnPlayerTouch:
OnPlayerTouch    Player   SpawnProjectile...
If you leave the boxes blank it'll fire the way the player is pointing.

yesor do this:

Make a platform and the fire brick, put it onto on active then make the button drop a zombie or vehicle onto the platform, it should keep firing while it falls on it, there though a little bit big, i would do relay's though they are a bit confusing at first...expieriment that's the best way to figure everything out...
