Title: Vertical range of turrets?
Post by: ryz on July 11, 2008, 04:08:08 am

Hi, does anyone happen to know what the vertical range of a turret is? Here's a crappy diagram I drew up to show you what I'm looking for:

I think it's a 90º inclination, with the intersection in the center of the hitbox. Could be wrong, however.

What id like to know is from where exactly it shoots from (what part of the hitbox of the Turret the shots are traced from)

this one took a bit of digging:
turrets can fire up to 90 degrees upward, but only 30 degrees downward. the like most buildables in 1.1(all? it's 11:30 so i don't feel like checking the others), the turret doesn't have a special muzzle: it just uses the entity origin, which happens to be the exact center of the bbox.
