Hi, due to the, um, "explosive" potential of friendly fire from this turret should a biter break through a wall further down from where the turret is located, I'd like to suggest limiting its firing arc (similar in concept to the flamethrower turret). Maybe a bit more than what the flamethrower has, say 144 degrees or 40% (compared to the flamethrower 120 or 33%)?

I've already tested this in game and it seems to work nicely. Under attack_parameters, just add a turn_range value.

After some play testing, I found that one would also need to set turret_base_has_direction = true. This prevents the base from rotating with the turret head.

Hello thanks for the suggestion that's indeed an interesting way to better limit the dangerousity of the turret :)

I'm hesitant to implement it, maybe as an option ? I kinda like the powerfull but high (explosive) risk associated with a cannon turret as a base defense.

Well, I mean, the flamethrower has a limited firing arc. :) But as an option would work for me!

I'll take a look to implement something configurable :)

Hello,

Went on a limp and added a new turret, let me know what your think !
