AutoGatling

Description
The AutoGatling is using the Logic of turrets and can rotate +/- 5 Degrees. Its designed to be placed at my Pirate DronePlanes.

2 Blocks, only small grid:
- auto gatling with normal gatling ammo
- auto gatling with rifle ammo

Not for the normal Player, just for the drones.
Not more to say. It is possible i will change something in the future, but the basic funktion should be the same.

For using this with prefabs only and players should not see it at the g-menue, use this one: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1697655211

@Takeshi Thanks for your time!

Play arround with existing stuff and use SE-Discord for questions. Weapons like that are using more than one model and in the models are dummys, they show the psoition where other models are connected. Check SE MOD SDK for the models from game. Is not easy, need a while to get first positive results. Have a nice day :-)

Thanks for the info! How would one best go about diving into making weapons like that? I'd love to experiment with other weapons. Like say I have mods with weapons I like, would it be possible to make gimbaled versions of those?

Yes, thats right. I dont know exacttly if you tell me this as positiv or negativ feedback.
(the challenge was to adjust the models according to the correct angles so that they fit the normal turret model)

Simple version: They are turrets with normal turret aim, afaik.

omg can there be more weapons like this? This is awesome. There are so many cool weapon mods that add cool new weapons but they never have gimbaled turrets like this! More weapon authors need to be adding forward facing +/- 5 Degrees aiming versions of their weapons.

I was customizing a Swordfish (Spikes ship from cowboy bebop) and since the guns are way out on the wings you can't really hit anything if you line your nose up. These gimbal style version of the gatling guns are perfect for aiming toward the center of my viewpoint.

Great job on these. How'd you do it? If it's not too hard to explain.

a little bit, yes
