turret reactivation?
is there any way to-like in P:TFV-make the turrets reactivate if they're stood up?
(You should post this in the Maps and Mapping forum.)
Good point. -Hober
Why do you need this? Do you need the turret to shoot at the player to solve some puzzle?
I've been playing around with the properties, flags and inputs and there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to re-activate a turret once it's tipped over. As an alternative, you could make some kind of turret dispenser that delivers a new turret when the player breaks the old one.

You have to resound script and replace the models of the HL2 turret. (npc_turret_floor)
The more you give, the less appreciated it will be received.

I wanted it so that they have a small "upgrade" since the last time. I mean, surely reactivating turrets are harder to beat than no reactivating turrets? so to make a turret dispenser really isn't an option :/
any idea of how I can do that? is it just getting the turret's model and material files and renaming them to the HL2 turret files?
I will not tell you exactly how to do it, cause you will never learn.
You have to copy and paste the portal turret files and rename them as the HL2 turret file. (ex. portal_turret.mdl -> hl2_turret.mdl)
[Thats not the real names]
But again I'm pretty sure that your turret will have the light laser in the wrong place or no light laser. And that will tip everyone off, trust me I tried it.
The rest you can figure out on your own or ask someone on your team. . .

that's a problem as-as much as we have asked for in moddb, TWP and MAL-we have no modeler :/
You don't need a modeler to replace an existing models that you already have. . You just rename models and re-script the sounds that once again are already in portal, you just gotta know were every thing is. . .
I think you would need a modeler to move the light laser if needed, but as one of PB's modelers found out with our camera model, some sprites are just coded in, and the only way to fix it is to create a new entity and model.
(And PLEASE don't ask me how to create a new entity, your just making more work then yourself. . )

well, as we plan to get a modeller, they should fix then when they're done with their fish entities.
well, I'll try to replace the models, but when you say "rescript the sounds", I'm stuck as to what you mean :/
In the portal's GCF, theres a .txt file in the script folder called "npc_sounds_turret-portal"
select everything there, copy and open a new .txt file and paste it and rename it: "npc_sounds_turret.txt" Then save the file under the script file.
