Hi.
I'm new to the Galaxy Editor and I need some help.
I am trying to figure out how to make door guns effect on a medivac.
By nosing through these forums I figured out how to add weapons, make them fire, and change the effect but I cant figure out how to make them shoot out the sides instead of the medivac stopping and turning in the direction of the target. Also how would you make it not stop at all? is that possible?
I guess this kinda goes along with that but I couldnt figure out how to make it not fire from the center of the model. Would I need to create 2 new attack actors? one for left one for right?
I should probably mention I was using the Marine Gauss Rifle effects/actors etc when playing with this and I ended up copying the Medivac Unit to a new one and re-naming it.
@ace1177: Go Ok I got that but it doesnt seem to render the desired effect.
If I click past a target the Medivac just flys by still. If I select the target and attack it flys up to it stops and starts shooting like normal.
Maybe I need to get the side shooting problem worked out first?
Speaking of...
BUMP on issue of making actual doorguns shoot out the side not the front.
I.E. medivac w/doorguns flys by a target and engages without changing direction or stopping.
Question:
Does the turret setting under the combat tab mean the weapon in question is turret mounted? or is it referring to a deployable turret? What I want to know is will this create the desired effect from above or not? anytime I add them to my weapons they stop shooting all together.

thx in advance, JimSolo
On making it where it won't stop edit the unit in the data editor where it can attack while moving.
@ace1177: Go That under the Unit or Weapon section? Not seeing that anywhere...
My mistake it is on the weapon itself. So go to the data type weapons > marine c-14 > weapon-allowed movement > moving

In addition to setting the allowed movement field to moving you also have to change the Weapon's Options field.
You have to uncheck "Only fire while attacking" and "Only fire at attack target".
