Turret .dsq?

[Path]

I've asked this before.

I have a turret model in .dsq form ready to be mounded to my custom vehicle. Only problem:

How can I animate it so the whole turret (basically like the tank turret) is able to rotate 360 horizontally and a certain angle up and down?

Somebody with actual experience with making turreted vehicles, please respond.

Any dismissive or 'do something like this' posts are not appreciated. I need a straightforward answer. Thank you

First of all, .dsq is just animation data. You also need to export the turret .dts which contains the model

You have the wrong idea of what a turret is. Basically its just a player vehicle that sits in a mount slot. If you sit in the jeep and switch to a non driver seat; thats what a turret is.
This also implies that you don't have to animate the 360 horizontal animation; only the vertical. Here is an example of a fully animated turret. Just replicate the animation and the export information with your own turret model.

Ah thanks, this makes a bit more sense. I'll try and check out the model
