Forge: Scripting, and the Auto turret

Games Forge
1

I know it is early days for the Forge mode, like many of you I loaded up a session the very moment it finished downloading.

I loaded up Detachment one of the “prebuilt - ready to play” forgeable maps and began adding things I deemed to be missing like vehicles (regardless on whether the map needs any vehicles or not, I like my vehicular action)
As I browse through lists upon lists of items I came across the Auto Turret.

Now my question is are we ment to be able to select which team the Auto Turret fights for/attacks against or is it ment to be hostile to everyone and therefore used as an area deterrent (don’t fly too far from the battlefield there is something waiting for you)

Thanks for reading, I interested in seeing your POSITIVE feedback/opinions.

I haven’t see anything specific about the auto turret. Seems like might possibly be a turret that fires on everyone then.

ah sad😟 i hope it can be on a team in the future, those turrets are really cool, also imagine them… setting by activation in a flood game, and they exterminate all the flood XD

Following for posterity! I’ve been trying to figure out a script to activate/deactivate an autoturret using terminals and I’m curious to see what others have developed with them.

It’s description says that you are supposed to be able to change its team. I would assume that it means that it doesn’t attack players from the same team, but it’s not working. So it seems like a bug that should be fixed.
