Ok so i was looking through some custom maps and saw a custom-turret (dp28 as a turret)

I figured i might be able to make a Kar98_Scoped a turret, so i tried...

I created a new weapon file (kar98scoped_bipod_duck_mp)

and made it just like the mg42_bipod_duck_mp 's file editing just a few things (such as firetime, zoom, and weapon fire anims.. stuff like that)... on the radiant in the entity editing window i put these:

classname:misc_turret
model:xmodel/weapon_kar98scoped
origin:-816 2583 296
weaponinfo:kar98scoped_bipod_duck_mp

so..

now i load it ingame and the map loads perfectly... goto get on the turret, and i get this error

something about it cannot place player on turret due to tag_player does not exist.

and in the console it says something like "aborting placement of player on turret due to tag_aim does not exist"

any ideas on how i can fix this?

umm.. can anyone help me???

if need be I will send all the files of my map (accept .map)

all guns that can be a turret (Mg42 , 30 cal , dp 28 ,...) have a tag built into the model which is associated with the basic turret script , if you could find the line where it calls for that tag and attaches the player to it you might be able to change it to some other tag which each gun has (not sure which one) and then you'd probly be able to make any gun into a turret ...

Where would i find that turret script?? I went thru all the pak.pk3 files for cod... cant find em :S

it's scripted into the engine I think. The tag itself is inside the xmodel.

Interesting idea.... Don't know if it will work. I'll look into it and see what I can come up with.

Alright. guess I'll have to look into the Xmodels for it.

I checked the Collmaps, and its not in those... so... How would you edit the Xmodel??

Ima try to figure it out myself but if u know already please, do tell :D

It looks like you may not be able to do it as a turret. You may have to do it using script and not allow the sniper rifle more than X far from something else or by only allowing it's use inside a trigger.

yeah.. I couldnt figure anything out with editing the Xmodel...

Possibly use a trigger and a script? --would make a nice mod :P
