Jason , If you're willing to look through this then , thank you and , certainly , have at it . Its mostly cut/copy/paste which
accounts for any resemblance to any sort of professionalism . Id like to add that , for the models , I closely followed the
deploy-able turret example to get a working AI turret , which I showed-off in the show-off forum recently , and from that , this
example . If you'd like , Ill put together a couple pictures of the modelling process and hierarchy tree . I'm still working on
it to see what it does and doesn't need in order to work .
