Destructible Sentry v2

Description
Please read the "settings" section!

About
The new, reworked version. Now with NPC targeting and far more settings.
Great for random NPC battles, multiplayer etc.
You can find this turret in [Entities/dSentries]

Features
- Targets NPCs as well as players,
- Customizable, see settings down below,
- Duplicable, you can save the turret with all of the settings,
- Destructible, players and enemy NPCs can destroy the gun.

Settings
-{ Targeting }-
- Sentry Class: used by other NPCs for targeting. For example if set to "REBEL", Combines will attack the sentry,
- Ignore Owner: whether or not should be owner (spawner) of the sentry ignored,
- PSO(Precise Shooting Only) - If this is on, the sentry will shoot only when
its muzzle is perfectly alligned with the target (usefull for sharphshooter sentries),
- Sentry in Motion: - This option is very usefull when your sentry is moving(it's welded to a plane/car). This setting will prevent targetting based on distance to target, this way you can avoid constant target changes.
- Target NPCs: whether or not should be NPCs (NextBot included) targeted,
- Range: Radius in which the sentry can detect and target the enemy,
- Targeting Filters: using that field, You can omit (not target) some entities based on their Nick (for players) or class (for NPCs). Filters need to be separated with ";" (semicolon) like this:
kleiner; citizen; zombie. This way, everything with "kleiner", "citizen" or "zombie" in class or nick won't be targeted.

You can also specify the exact class/nick by prefixing the "!":
!npc_zombie; !SomeNick; headcrab. This way you can avoid targeting enemies with similar classes or nicks, ex. Zombie (npc_zombie) and Fast Zombie (npc_fastzombie). Filters are not case sensitive
("NiCK" == "nick").

-{ Misc }-
- Shoot Sound: Shows a list of sounds to choose from.
- Muzzle Effect: Shows a list of muzzle flashes to choose from.
- Tracer: Shows a list of tracers flashes to choose from.
- Fire Speed: Modifies the firing rate. The bigger the speed, the less damage is inflicted, in other words: speed at the cost of damage and accuracy.
- Laser Color: Sets color of the laser sight (Set it to black if you want to turn it off).
- Decals: Sets the decal type of your sentry.

FAQ
- Why can't I change the damage/health?
- This sentry is more for roleplays than for pure sandbox, so you can't just set the damage to infinity.

- I changed the sentry class but it still won't shoot at [insert npc name here]
- Everything is described in the "Settings" section.

- I get Lua errors while using that addon.
- If the Console doesn't say "lua/addons/autoturret/[init.lua, shared.lua or cl_init.lua]" then it's not a problem with the Turret itself.
Can't do anything about it, contact the author of the faulty addon.

- Is it able to kill Strider, Gunship or a monster_bullchicken?
- Yes it is. It uses a special technique called DMG_BLAST for those dudes. It can even kill the monster_gargantua!

Important !
- If you want this turret to pierce through gunship/strider armor you need to set "FireSpeed" to as low as:

- (1.04) to penetrate strider armor
- (2.10) to penetrate gunship armor
(Remember ! - lower rate of fire = bigger damage per round and higher accuracy)

It would be nice if you could pick it up and move it around without having to use the Phys gun. Even JMOD hands or the VManip Entity Pull addons cant interact with it.

This mod is very good, and I love it! Theres a way to have npc's get shot, theres a way to have your teammates not get shot, this is very nice features to have. Not to meantion how the "lower rate of fire = bigger damage per round and higher accuracy" is just so cool

less range should allow faster fire rate, it would be cool, but yea, strapped this to a wiremod frame and had it hunting my brother down, its great

It seems unfortunate that I would agree.

"this addon is utter crap. I hate it. I wish someone would ban it from workshop. The new Sentinel Turrent is great though."

*I think this is at least decent, but yeah. -Both of Us- probably know what will happen this very second, the thumb goes off to the side here.
