Call of Duty 5: MP - Adding Turrets

Tutorial on how to add a Turret (mounted MG) to your Levels.

Static Turrets

In World At War there are several static turrets that players and AI can both use (in sp and mp). Turrets are normally machine guns 'fixed' to a wall via a bipod or tripod.

Radiant:

Below is a list of SP and MP turrets with typical turret keys and values: (crouch can be replaced with PRONE or STAND for all turrets).

Deployable Turrets

A deployable turret is a weapon that the player can carry, shoot, reload while moving, and then place (by folding out a bipod/tripod) on an obstacle to turn it into a static turret until they wish to dismount it again.

A deployable turret must have a matching static turret in the level, so if you have a deployable mg42 there must be at least one static turret mg42 in the level, see above

Radiant

In radiant we define the places where we can mount our deployable_turrets by using tool textures:

Mount

(you can mount the turret and also climb over these walls, saves using the mantle texture separately)

Mount_mantle_on

Mount_mantle_over

Usual Placement: Place a mount_mantle texture 32 units high, 16 units wide. This is an ideal crouch height for most deployable turrets to 'look right'. The actual wall that the mount texture is 'on' should be overlapped by the mount texture. So the actual wall would be only 8 units wide by 30 units high in this case.

Weapons

Deployable turrets start their life as normal weapons that the player can pick-up and use.

Weapons in Radiant

(Ticking 'Suspend' in the Entity dialogue will keep the weapon for falling to the ground during compiling)

From the weapons menu the bipods are (mp is multiplayer):

mg42_bipod or mg42_bipod_mp

bar_bipod or bar_bipod_mp

dp28_bipod or dp28_bipod_mp

fg42_bipod or fg42_bipod_mp
