Okay, so I decompiled the map that has turrets firing at a test dummy in order to understand its functionality for when I use it in my mappack, what I noticed is there is no cable attached it at all. So I added one myself.

....it decided to do this.

I would probably just move the little metal connecter piece so it sticks into the dummy's back or head so I wouldn't have to worry about ropes.

i tried parenting with a logic_auto instead, and that fixed it
