Can't seem to get the gun turrets script to work since the update. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, I place the scripts as directed but they don't move or shoot. Any help would be great!

Ah, well the quatlib has been incorporated into scriptbank since then and has been 'fixed' so those old scripts will probably not work too well anymore. You could put the old quatlib in a sub directory and change the scripts to include that one instead.

I'm finding that the whacky racer script has some problems as well so am having to rewrite it.

Gave that a try but I still can't get it to work. Could be an error on my part. Disappointing though as that was a great script!

Could you post the script(s) that you are trying to fix here, there are quite a few on that thread so I'm not sure which ones you have used.


Oh and which turrets are you using, there are a few of those as well!

Try these:

Remember to delete your old .dbo files so the new .x files get applied.

If this works for you I'll change the other .x files as well. Not sure how you ever got it working though!

Hi G,

I just centred them is all, and rotated them to 'forward' orientation.

I did the same for the ones I originally made the videos with which is why I'm surprised these ones ever worked with my scripts!


I actually need to re-write those scripts at some point, they still do things the 'old' way and could be improved to work with scaled versions of the models now that the Lua commands are available to do that.

AmenMoses it almost works! Gun turrets and radar dish rotate to player and damaged parts appear when turrets are destroyed. The only problem is when I add decals for shooting I get this error:

I don't know why the picture didn't attach. The error is:

scriptbank\gun turret\turret_base.lua:146:attempt to call field 'Rotate3D' (a nil value)

Thank you so much for your help! Getting closer. The gun turrets rotate to player and shoot! If I move to a different location however the dish and guns still rotate to player but don't shoot again or shoot intermittently.

How many shot decals are you using?

Ah, the script you were originally using has a set shot time of half a second, in the new one it is controlled by a setting at the top of the script, try setting the gunCoolTime to a lower value.

AmenMoses the script works perfectly! When setting up the turret guns and decals this morning I realized that I hadn't made the decals "always active" . Now it works fine even without adjusting the gunCoolTime. Great to have this script back. Thank you again!
