Render mode: texture would probably be better than additive, but otherwise great tut. At last, tanks are no longer destroyable with two shots from a crossbow!

Neat idea and a clear, concise tutorial smiley

A rendermode of "Solid" and amount 0 is what you should use to make something invisible. Regardless of the textures used on the entity, those settings will make it disappear (and not even be drawn by the engine).

"Additive" and "Texture" are special rendermodes that depend on using particular types of textures.

Er...I'm an idiot, but I get two problems.
1. The gibmodel 'metalplate_green' won't load.
2. The turret rotates not around its centre but around a central point which is at the end of the barrel, if you see what I mean.
Help?

I still don't know how they made the tanks in the original game, but this one's better.
Sulkdodds, 1) Just leave gibmodel blank, it's not really neccessary.
2) Put an origin brush in the centre of the turret. Make it part of the turret entity. It's a block with the "origin" texture on all sides in case you don't know.
