Turret caused a ctd if attempted to pick up while bullets are in its' inventory. Did not cdt once bullets were removed. Repeated three times to verify, all three times had same results.

Do the turrets shoot wild dinos? Or is it still buggy?

paul.cominscoch 21 Feb, 2017 @ 12:21pm

+1 to Inglorious Platypus request for nopower or ammo in ini. Love this mod! Thank you for the hard work.

Yea there wasn't a way to stop the turret firing at targets so I had to reduce dmg to 0 for non targeted enemies
Wolf 6 May, 2016 @ 3:09am 
Does the turret always fake fire at non-targeted enemies regardless of the targeting mode, or only when set to the "Wild Dinos Only" targeting mode?

@Brutal xD thanks for the correction

@Inglorious This can be added and will be once my internet is up and running again

"please bare with me" means get naked with me. Replace "bare" with "bear" for your intended use. :)

could you add a line in the ini to make this unlimited ammo and no power required for admins? I am running a pvp server with trade settlement safe zones and im looking for a way to keep the wild dinos away. having to reload them and power them would be a huge hassle as there are 4 settlements. if not ill make do and manually reload every day.

For Science! So great, have some turret friends :p2turret: :p2turret: :p2turret:

I dont know if my custom damage for turrets is working. Is there a limit to how much each turret shot can do?
ChiBlaaa  [author] 10 Feb, 2016 @ 5:11am 
I'll try and make it so that Turn On/Off is top so you don't need to go in each time. Wild dinos only means it will only damage wild dinos it won't do any damage to anything else, still fires but as i said in the description it will not consume ammo.
Bunny 10 Feb, 2016 @ 3:10am 
Also, please make it more user friendly. Not to grind or anything. But i noticed you have to go into the interface to turn it on. Also i dont know if anyone else has this issue, i could just be stupid, but i dont really get the Damage Wild Dinos Only feature. Or make it so that if you have wild dinos only, then it only shoots at wild dinos. Sorry if i offfended you. Great Mod! :steamhappy:
Bunny 10 Feb, 2016 @ 3:05am 
Ohh, didnt read the description. :P Sorry
Bunny 10 Feb, 2016 @ 3:04am 
Does the tamed dino damage apply to players too?
Bunny 10 Feb, 2016 @ 3:04am 
Thanks
ChiBlaaa  [author] 10 Feb, 2016 @ 2:49am 
Just been added for you as an extra option in the ini, info is in the description
Bunny 9 Feb, 2016 @ 5:34am 
Thank you, also, when will that be added?
ChiBlaaa  [author] 9 Feb, 2016 @ 4:24am 
I can probably add an extra ini variable for default dmg to tames/players which admins can set
Bunny 9 Feb, 2016 @ 4:22am 
Ohhh, can you PLEASE add another turret that does damage to tamed dinos but admins can set the damage? Because i like the type of turret, but the damage is not good for a high rate, high level, server.
ChiBlaaa  [author] 9 Feb, 2016 @ 4:12am 
It's just a regular turret when it comes to tamed dinos and players, being able to set the DMG of turrets for tamed and players is OP this was meant to help clear out the inferior dinos for new spawns and aid capture of the good dinos
Bunny 9 Feb, 2016 @ 3:44am 
So not tamed dinos? Because i was planning to use it for base defence.
ChiBlaaa  [author] 8 Feb, 2016 @ 11:43pm 
It only applies to wild dinos lower than the level you set on the turret
Bunny 8 Feb, 2016 @ 3:15pm 
So the damage i set in my Ini, it only applies to tamed dinos? Or wild dinos? Or both.
ChiBlaaa  [author] 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:13pm 
Turrets will do damage if they are set up correctly but only deal default damage which is 70 to non dinos and tamed dinos.

You need to set a max level per turret and then anything below that level will be damaged (based on the value you set in the ini for TurretDMG)

If you set auto-tranq anything above that level with be hit with tranq bullets

If you set it to only target wild dinos it will only consume ammo and cause dmg to wild dinos
Bunny 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:09pm 
:P Well my server has increased stats, so i increased the damage of the turrets. Could that cause the turrets to not do damage?
ChiBlaaa  [author] 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:08pm 
It's meant to be like a regular turret it's a bit OP if it doesn't use power
ChiBlaaa  [author] 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:07pm 
I disabled the need for electricity and forgot to re-enable it
Bunny 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:07pm 
Don't make it need electricity please. It is cool.
Bunny 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:06pm 
Disabled what?
ChiBlaaa  [author] 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:06pm 
Ah they should, think I disbaled it for testing and forgot to re-enable, I will fix that in the next patch
Bunny 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:05pm 
Also, do they need electricity? Because mine doesnt appear to need it.
ChiBlaaa  [author] 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:05pm 
That would be why then :)
Bunny 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:04pm 
No sir
ChiBlaaa  [author] 8 Feb, 2016 @ 2:04pm 
Have you selected a max level?
Bunny 8 Feb, 2016 @ 1:51pm 
I am using these turrets right now and they dont do damage and dont drain ammo. :|
ChiBlaaa  [author] 7 Feb, 2016 @ 6:52pm 
Just patched it with the Wild Dinos Only option in there now - as in the notes above mention it will still fire at other targets but won't consume ammo (only temp fix until ability is available in DK)
ChiBlaaa  [author] 7 Feb, 2016 @ 1:49pm 
Interesting idea, definitely something I've thought about too, see what I can do

Let me know how it goes and if you spot anything
bestscreenname 7 Feb, 2016 @ 1:44pm 
Nice concept. I'm going to check it out in SP for a bit. Something I've seen a lot of requests for and that I've been thinking about a lot lately is an option on turrets to only attack wild dinos. Think that would fit with your mod here?
