Request: Targeting, Automatic, Turret Event

[Snowstar]

There was one in the old wrench events and I was wondering if anyone could make one for the new wrench events.

Needs to search for near players constantly. So no.

[Snowstar]

but then how did it work in the old wrench events?

[MegaScience]

Needs to search for near players constantly.

[Snowstar]

so, cant someone still make  it?

You know, it could work as a player wrench event... you'd stick it in a baseplate's onPlayerTouch, and then you'd have the player object to aim at right in the script.

So...

Some sort of output event like "spawnHomingProjectile" with available targets such as Nearest Player or Nearest Vehicle instead of a velocity? (like the player/bot spawnProjectile only provides a speed and not a vector)

Activating Player, Nearest Player, Nearest Vehicle ("anti-tank" turrets, also targets bots/player vehicles) - they shouldn't fire if that player is more than 10-20 studs away, though.

Why did you highlight the Spread Turret part of the script?

Badspot fail-bined the prox mod NiXiLL made for closest player.

No, I bolded the Homing Turret part. I needed you to fully explain the script incompatibility.

Yeah due to possibility of abuse though.

Kill proximity events would really suck.

And I mentioned it because what space guy said is just like it.
