Hi, i've been looking for that for a while now and i've barely found anything that solved what i'm trying to do. Basically, I want to make the turret of a unit, like a siege tank or a missile turret, to follow the position of my mouse with triggers. With the few unclear things i've found, it looks kinda complicated to make and i'm not really good with the editor, so... some help would be greatly appreciated :D !
AFAIK you have to have two separate units: the base for the turret and turret itself. You place the base via triggers, data (build) or w/e and then place turret on top of it via triggers. With this done you can manipulate the turret however you like
The easiest way is to just make an invisible dummy unit follow your mouse cursor and make the turret unit attack the invis unit. Ofc make sure that there is no attack animation and no damage effect.
If there is another easy way to do it I would LOVE to get an explanation how it is done.
Thank you for your answer. I think I've already seen that one, i was hoping there was another possible way (not that this is something really hard to do, but its complicated for nothing.) but yeah, if theres another way i'd like to know it too. Blizzard needs to add triggers to control turrets :\
