heres a tough one..maybe...

heres a tough one..maybe...i dont know,  but i like to have some prior battle scenery [dead bodies, tanks, smoke fire blah blah] but I always want to have thr tanks look like theyve been involved.

So what I'd like to do is to turn the turrets [I use empty vehicles for things like this to avoid lag] but how do i get the turret rotated to any degree even pitch too if tis possible.

[Triggerhappy]

place a full tank wherever you want it, and a unit off in the direction you want it to look, then do this:
this dotarget otherunit; "deletevehicle _x" foreach (cargo this);deletevehicle otherunit; this setdammage 1

that goes in the tanks init, and i can't garuntee it, the tank may die before it can target, but you have to name the "otherunit" so it knows who to target

EDIT: also setting is fuel to 0 would be a good idea

Or, do that in a script, with a delay before setdammage

[ThEoNeAnDoNlY]

yea the script wud be easy to do.

just use something like this

Tank dotarget man (the man being the bloke off in the distance)

~3

Tank setdamage 2

exit


i cant guarntee that will work and you will have to take away my little hint in the barackets but it shud be something liek that.
