I have recently begun construction on a custom turret, with a custom model etc. Its basically an eyeball on a tentacle that shoots lasers.
Pretty sweet amirite? :'D
Anyways, I'm having issues with it. I took the Sentry Gun from the campaign and transformed it into the eye tentacle by changing its model, etc. and its weapon, however when the tentacle attacks things, it shoots lasers from its base instead of its eye, and it won't turn to face units when it attacks them. :C
Does anyone know how to make it turn to face its targets when it attacks (a la spine crawler), OR,
does anyone know how to make the beam fire out of its eye? I'm pretty bad with attachments although I've done them before. Can beams have their attachments / launch site changed?
theres like 2 of those models in wow u can use or base your unit on if u want, but if you just want it to turn u can do that in the data editor, shouldn't be too hard

Thats what I used. lol The model isn't the problem its getting the thing to turn. I think I might start from scratch and ditch the sentry gun as a "base" for it.
As for getting the beam to fire out of the right location, that might take some work.
To get it to turn the model must habe a TurretZ attachment point. What model you use for the eye anyhow? So do you want to have a tenacle with an attachment that fires stuff or do you have an eye with the tentacle as the atachment?

this is what the turret looks like so far.
The laser comes out the base of it.
And no theres not attachment yet. I see what you're saying though, I need to get a base model and attach the eye tentacle model to the top of it.
I think I'll use the one that the Spine Crawler uses... know what its called? I'll look for it and stick this model on top.
