Turret Lock Trigger

This map demonstrates how you can lock a structure's "bone_turret" bone to a unit just like you can "bone_chest" and "bone_head" more details in the map. Perhaps UMSWE or some other WE would be interested in this?

This sounds interesting...

wow, thats interesting...

are those two units the only with bone turrets?

the only two that came to mind :P though I think the other ancients do too plus any of the special towers in the Blood Elf bonus level. I think there are probably more I just don't know which ones have turrets you'll have to experiment ;)

Is somebody know to "unlock" the "bone_turret" to the unit after it was locked ??

there's a trigger, Animation - reset unit bodypart facing, I didn't use it in that map though as it was just to show that turrets could be locked by triggers too.

ok , iv found the fuction to reset the turret, its ResetUnitLookAt

iv done a test map with an animated panzer tank, the turret lock on targets, you can also roll out peon

Ah I didn't realise you had meant JASS :P and it looks cool, will try it later. I was thinking of trying something like this but you beat me too it, glad to see my discovery put to good use :)

But the problem, when the tank fire, it turn to facing the target, i dont know if its possible that it fire only with the turret facing
