16's Vehicle-Mountable Turrets

Description
Now we can make true weapons of war.

If you're unsure on how to connect the turrets or the modules, then watch the attached YouTube video for a quick two-minute guide!

A simple, in-depth system for turrets that can be mounted on vehicles. Place one of the twelve turret types present in the addon inside of a core, connect the core to the vehicle of your desire with a Connecting Wrench, then weld the core to the vehicle (or somewhere else) and you can aim and left-click to fire! Put turrets on cars, turrets on bikes, turrets on planes, turrets on chairs, wherever you want really. They're not just limited to being car-mountable, alright?

Turrets have their own durability and can be repaired by right-clicking with the Connecting Wrench if damaged, rotation speeds and limitations in terms of rotating vertically and horizontally. Some turrets are more nimble while being weaker, others are really powerful but are limited in their rotation. Turrets will also overheat after being fired for an extended period of time, some sooner than others. Up to three modules can be installed inside of a turret with a Module Wrench, and a Calibrating Wrench is present. They may help eliminate a certain turret's shortcomings, or further improve said turret's advantages.

Has simfphys, LVS and partial Glide support. The only real limit is your imagination, but of course, some slight quirks are present:
• Glide vehicle base seems to be really buggy when trying to use this addon with its vehicles. It seems to be due to the creator's implementation of the vehicle base :/
• Turrets will do their best to avoid killing you and your vehicle. They will usually not fire if the vehicle you are in is in the line of fire. Still, be careful when using turrets that fire explosives, and especially with the Flame Turret.
• Turret aim is offset based on the rotation and position of the core. This should be kept in mind for when making front-facing turrets.
• Passengers inside of cars cannot use turrets due to limitations. Can be somewhat worked around with the use of seats.
• Duplicator support is only partial due to a lack of documentation. Turrets and cores will save, but not their connections, nor their modules. If someone could help me make it actually work, that would be amazing!

The addon can be modded and expanded if needed, due to a relatively flexible base. Please, leave suggestions for any turret/module types you want to see next, and do enjoy!

i see that you've added the stat modifiers, great job! it also kinda gets around the dupe issue, i suppose

The tank turret is usually a separately animated thing that is part of the tank model, so if you can find a way to fix the turret core to the tank turret bone (is there even a bone parenting tool out there?), it should work

great addon, now i just need to find a way to attach the turrets to tanks so the cores themselves move with the tank turret turret

nevermind, it seems i placed the turrets wrong. Still, some options to tweak the addon to one's liking and maybe adjust variables like the turrets' health, power, heat capacity, etc. would come in handy!

Sure, I'll try to push out an update within a day or two with some features everyone was asking for!

Hello, this is a very promising addon! i would like to ask, could there be an option to ignore heat or vastly increase the amount of heat turrets can withstand? my HMG turrets can't fire for more than some seconds without needing to cool down for a while, even with the fan modules...

Go up to the top of the Steam Workshop page for this addon, then read the second sentence (top to bottom) that is in bold
