See latest post for new problem.
old problem (fixed)
I made a map where you can launch combine balls out of a rotatable physics object, and i made the instances, and they worked perfectly in singlepayer, but the rotation cheat totally broke in coop, and i was wondering if there was a way to make it work in coop.

How could I use a func_tank to rotate it? I don't have much experience with func_tanks in general. I want it to not always lock on the other player, an be able to rotate freely.

Func_tanks act as automatic guns, but they can also be controlled by the player. Don't give it a target entity, set the "Player Control" flag, and put a trigger_multiple around the player.

Thanks! Now I can finish my map! I never really mapped for any other game before, and I'm still not quite sure what entities to use at time.

What is a "rotation cheat"?

sv_enableholdrotation lets you spin things with the RMB, but I don't think it's a cheat.

Ok, I am having a new problem now. I changed the launcher to a gun, and it works great in SP, but in coop, it is completely broken. I tried changing the instances to match the coop bots' proxy name, and still no luck. The instances have been uploaded, can someone take a look and see whats wrong?

I can't look at them atm, but remember that P-body is "red" not "orange" (looking at the file names).
