Ive been trying for the last 2 days straight trying to figure this out on hammer, been to different websites/forums and no one knows or replys to me thread about this

Ive tried adding brush entitys and can't figure out how to make the gun there or make it work, ive added the bunker gun from the combine props and it just doesn't work.

Have you tried making it prop_dynamic? That's the only thing I can think of :/

btw is this for hl2 or deathmatch?

If you're using brush entities...I think you could just use the func_tank from HL1, right? Link. As for using a point-based entity to get a controllable turret, I dunno. The description doesn't list it as being obsolete.

I'll look for a solution to this, as it interests me as well. I'll keep this thread updated. Maybe I'll even write a crappy tutorial. [addsig]

Do you have the (if it even exists) Controllable flag checked?

there is no controlable flag for the bunkergun prop.

I can tell you that the bunker gun requires the prop_dynamic entity, but I can't yet tell you how to make it fire. Hopefully by Wednesday. [addsig]

I have a working player-controlled turret example here.

The crucial parts are the func_tank (this controls how the gun functions), the prop_dynamic (this is the gun model), and the trigger_multiple (this is the area the player has to be in to control the gun). The rest of the bits (sprites, spotlight) aren't necessary.

If you look at the output tab of the func_tank, you can see how the gun animations are triggered when the player starts or stops using the turret, or fires the gun.

Edit: apparently, this only works in single-player, not HL2DM.

Cheers guys, just what I came looking for.

Shame it won't work in DM though, as I'm updating one of my HL1 maps to HL2, and need some mounted MGs.
