Turret Laser Tag for builders idea.

[Teiman]

Mod or normal tremulous idea:

My idea is to add a "tool" for builders. The laser tag. The builder can point with the laser a area, and the turrets will aim to that area and shot. So can hit something  far from his original design.

Only turrets that can "visible" the laser dot will shot. While a turret its attacking the dot will ignore other aliens.

It wouldn't have to shoot at all, just making the turret turn to the right direction would be enough to make turrets much more effective.

I think you all remember this situation: You build turret next to wall and it points into the wall until some alien comes close. If you could just say 'hey turret, turn over there!', it could make 2 or 3 times more damage to incoming aliens.

Yes because this definately isnt something that would make your turrets worthless as they keep shooting and ignoring nearby aliens...

Just make it so that when a builder presses the "use structure" button beside a turret, it faces him.

Of course, this'll be abused by the deconer types.. who'll turn the turrets the wrong way all the time...

[Caveman]

Rippy I don't see this as a problem. Aiming at aliens should take precedence over any "use structure" as that would also eliminate the use by some noobs then.

I don't like it.

It would make turrets much more effective than they already are.

Also, the aliens don't recieve any sort of buff in return, so that's bad.
