Gun Turrent for Vehicles?

Is there a way to have user controlled gun turrents on a vehicle?

like a gun turrent on the under side of an aircraft so your Passanger/Gunner can shoot while you fly...
And if able mouse point controllable?

yes

If you make the gun turret 1 prim (cut), you can use llSetLocalRot() to set the correct rotation. This rotation should also be give to the bullet rezzing script in the llRezObject.

Either use the control event and keys to control rotation, but i can imagine this conflicts with controlling the plane...

A second way:

Make an attachment that attaches to the head of the avie. Let it send info on it's rotation to the turret. You can now control the turret by looking at places in mousemove. Vehicle control can still be done by the keyboard.

sure, study some of the gun scripts and you should be able to figure it out

Some people have discussed this before maybe this will help:

There is neither an N in the word "turret", nor is there an "en" sound. It is pronounced "turr-et", it is spelled "turret".

Don't forget you only get 31 prims for a vehicle. You may want to approach it by attaching the turret to yourself. Probally be easier to script too because you are basically attaching/wearing a gun while sitting down it a vehicle. Not the most prettiest, but it should work.

Theres two ways to go about this though they're probably kind of scary! I've done it though.

My current turret system works by having a child prim rotate to the way a gunner is looking... its hard to shoot like this, but its more sporting and less buggy

O trust me we have surpassed the prim limit for this vehicle long ago... this is to be part of a supership

I will check that link out and will also try a few other options that have arose to my attention

That won't work. Attachments can neither move nor rotate while attached.

TXGorilla: i have made a rotating turret for a ship i'm making in cooperation with Dano Plisskin. All you need to do is calculate local position, convert rotation from local to global, apply it with llSetPrimitiveParams, and it will do as you please.

It will work. Sure, attachments don't move in relation to the attach point, but by the very fact that they're attached to your av, they will move/rotate as your av does in mouselook. The only difference from a regular scripted gun and an attached turret is in appearance, and the fact that if you exit the vehicle, the turret will go with you (which will look really silly)... But as Toneless already said, its not the prettiest solution.

Yeah it's not pretty. Anyways I thought it was easy way out plus this was before I knew he went over the 31 prim limit. There are some limitations though it will not go 360 degrees around if you are sitting down. Just attach it to your head, like your chin or nose it will move around where you look.
