Alright so theres these weird turrets in starforge and SCMdraft Duke turret alan turret ect now i really never bother with them before cause i always figured they prolly would crash the game if i played online. but i have a few questions on them.

1. How do they work meaning what do they do?
2. Is it possible to have them in a online game without crashing
3. if so how would i go about place them or getting them to work

Sorry if you guys already answered these questions a 43217854875192874987120985730987530921857983125 times.

thanks.

Regular missile turrets placed in Starforge/SCMDraft work like normal missile turrets. I don't understand.

Those are sprites and are there because the turrets on those units can rotate separately.

No, they will always crash unless placed as pure sprite (raw image)

Just post the base of the unit and everything will be ok.

Ignor the top parts of it. Don't thouch them unless you need to edit their attack. (You edit the attack of the unit at the top part of the unit)

There are different methods of getting the turret units to work.

•Pre-disabled sprite-unit goliath turrets will cloak and move around.
•You can use player 14 to freeze up any unit that would normally crash and just have it sit there.
•You can pick up turrets with peons.

i always thought they attacked and all but couldnt move and you couldnt control them...

Those would work perfectly fine for me in game. They just cant be selected, they face the upper roght or left and dont move, act like a sprite most of the time. That was back in 1.05 though. Havent tried anything with them lately. And I agree the ONLY reason you should mess with them is to change the attack of the respective unit, like Goliath turret for goliath, Duke turret for Duke tank, etc.
