Turrent On Plane...?

[modderman]

I was wondering if it would be possible to but a chain-gun like turrent on a plane, so just like a chopper the gunner can move it around and target objects....
If thats not possible....
What about like on this swift boat addon i found,
where it places a cannon, and few machine gunners around the boat, Maybe that would work for adding a chain gun to a plane....?
Thanks...

AFAIK you cannot have a turret on a plane.

As far as the boat goes, that is done by a setpos loop that keeps the turret or gun in position.
This is possible with boats because they do not pitch and bank much at all.

With planes it would be a different story, they pitch and bank all over the place, a turret would have a hard job keeping up with it  ;D

well, i don't know of any plane addon that has a rotating gunner. but theoretically it certainly must be possible cos a heli has all the selections for it like a tank. -> otochlaven, otocvez and the relative osa-selections in the memory lod. make the gunner proxy part of the otocvez-selection and it turns with the gun.
for multi-turrets i am not as sure. these additional gunner positions of the swift boats are separate guns, scripted to keep a certain position relative to the boat. for the more komplex movements of tanks and planes it would be a lot harder. good luck if you want to give it a try

edit--- bummer -planck was quicker!
