Add a turret to my location - Possible?

[Limbi]

Hi all

I'd like to add turrets into a map, wich hasn't any turrets located inside to my place.

How to manage? Any idea? I just want to play arround with them... I love them. ;)

I already played HL2 to the end.

I found a command "npc_create_equipment". This will help you perhaps to find the correct command.

Sorry for my english. German answers are welcome!

What kind of turret? The ones in the ground (near the end), or the ones you can move with the manipulator (like in the jail)

[Edcrab]

The movable ones can be spawned with npc_create (or give, if you want it spawned in your exact location) npc_turret_floor, I believe.

So typing npc_create npc_turret_floor should give you a turret, but be warned, every time I try and do this my game crashes the moment it touches the floor.

Nice idea! give npc_turret_floor is working, but your right! It's crashing.
But where does my turret spawn if I use npc_create npc_turret_floor? I do not see any turret.

How can I manage it without crashing? Help please!

[Clavius]

How about trying it with noclip on? thats the way it works in Ut2004 :rolleyes: just a tought.

[Limbi]

Already tried with noclip. Didn't work.

[chriso20]

npc_create_aimed maybe?

i know in CSS if you spawn a hosty with hostage_entity then it'l crash unless its _aimed aswel.


try that :)

[Limbi]

Ok is it correct, that I have to write to console first npc_create_aimed npc_turret_floor and second give npc_turret_floor? Right?

"npc_create_aimed npc_turret_floor" should just create a turret (if possible) where you're looking, so look at the floor :)

IT IS WORKING!!!

bind "b" "npc_create npc_turret_floor"

This is working now! Thank you!

But there is a problem: These turrets aren't friendly! They are attacking me and no combines! How can I make these turrets come friendly?

No idea?? Please!!

I'm interested in this too.
It would be so fun to play around with some allied turrets !

*BUMP*

[Dead-Inside]

Actually killing your fellow resistance figthers should prove to be quite fun aswell.

Maybe you can hook up some long pointy things and then... yes... yes.....

[SimonomiS]

Maybe its like the Grav Gun, load up a save where the turrets are friendly and try spawning them.

[Limbi]

@simonomis: Already tried... Not working. There must be an another name for the friendly turrets. Mappers also have no idea?

If you need to find out the name of those "friendly" turrets, maybe the information in this post - made by MagicalMonkey (http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showpost.php?p=1023829&postcount=148) could be of some help ?

[Limbi]

Thanks! Here the ent_info list for npc_turret_floor.
Any idea now? Mappers?

I can use these information for ent_fire npc_turret_floor [action] [value]

How can I make, that the turret will not shot on me? Can some1 test some commands? I don't understand some words in this list.

[Edcrab]

Hmm, "SetRelationship" sounds promising... obviously a global variable of some sort. We'll have to do some experimenting!

Why was this command not working (crashing) and now it is? What changed?

I also want friendly turrets!

[Edcrab]

It's all to do with sound caching- in my experience, if you spawn a turret with give it always crashes, but if you spawn with npc_create it'll only crash in the rare instance that the relevant sound (for the turret hitting the floor) isn't precached. With npc_create, a falling turret is near-impossible to produce anyway...

[Limbi]

Did any1 some experiments? I'm going to do some next hour.

[DieScreaming]

Still lost on how to make them friendy i ahve tried


ent_fire npc_turret_floor SetTeam 1 1
ent_fire npc_turret_floor SetTeam 2 1
ent_fire npc_turret_floor SetTeam 0 1

ent_fire npc_turret_floor TeamNum 0 1
ent_fire npc_turret_floor TeamNum 2 1
ent_fire npc_turret_floor TeamNum 1 1

ent_fire npc_turret SetRelationship 0 1
ent_fire npc_turret SetRelationship 2 1
ent_fire npc_turret SetRelationship 1 1

Does anyone know the values for these?

[Incoming]

*bump*

[Limbi]

We have perhaps to wait until some more details come out of this game...

[Limbi]

I found a new entity - show - command: ent_show_response_criteria (or something like this).

Look to a turret and try this command! How can I change these values?

Please! Test some more thinks with the turrets! I do it all the time!

The entityname of the friendly turrets is "turret_buddy". So How can I change an entityname?

[Limbi]

Any idea?

[MagicalMonkey]

ent_setname whatever

[jamesko20]

It would be cool if this worked :)
