Id assume it allows static units like Ancients to rotate and hit stuff but Im not too sure.

Units with the bone "bone_turret" will have it face the targeted unit. If I can remember correctly.

Do you have to put it anywhere special? I took a custom model and made a "Bone_Turret" the parent of all other bones, and it became invisible (and unselectable) in-game.

(oops, Necro-post... Still, useful question??...)

If I wanted to perhaps use this ability for a buff-that is--to have the butterflies/effect graphics of this model fly around a target while the buff is in effect (similar to rejuvenation, for example)--would this at all be possible? I've given it a few attempts with no success.

Cheers,
