I wanted to make a turret that re spawned when it fell over or was killed. The answer is below.

Isn't there an OnTipped command or something similar? I can't check right now, but I thought there was.

Oh, there is. Thank you.

How would I set this up, though? I can't set anything to a turret that isn't spawned yet.

Try the npc_template_maker. If you create a small room with a turret in it that's separated from you main map, it'll spawn a copy of the original turret. For more info, see NPC Template Maker in the Mapping Wiki.

Wow, MasterLagger is actually posting useful advice.

I think you can also respawn turrets with a normal template as well.

Why are you editing a previous post with a new question?
Change it back. Someone might want to know this later, and they want to search the forums for an answer. Leave it as it is, and make a new topic for other questions.

Yes, I actually am for the first time in the entire history of the universe!!!

Now, the bomb dropper. I've only used it once in a Demo boss battle. But I believe the point_futbol_shooter entity is what your looking for. I also think you're going to have to set a info_target for it to work properly. Making it come out of a dropper shouldn't be hard. I should look into those other futbol entities again.

@tanger

don't see the point in cluttering up the forums with multiple threads for every tiny question I have.

It's already here, meaning still cluttered with your question.
Might as well have it useful for other people who have the same question.

but my bomb question (which it turns out I didn't need to ask) would of been another thread.
