Adds 3 different kinds of working Sentry/Turret gun into the game, they consume ammo and shoot zombies.
How do I build these turrets?
First you need to learn how to craft them. If you are an engineer you will immediate know the recipe, otherwise you will need to read the "Engineer Gaming Magazine". The magazine can be commonly found at any bookshelf and toolstore storage. After that, just go to the craft menu and you can craft them at the Engineer category.
How good are them?
Handgun Turret Low damage per shot, but fire Faster than all other kinds of turret. Has a range of 10 tiles radius half square (demonstrated by the preview image above.) Needs 3x Electronics Scrap, 3x Scrap Metal, 1x Motion Sensor, 1 Handgun (M9/M36/M625/M1911/D-E/Magnum), 1 Wrench/Pipe Wrench (doesn't consume) to craft. Consumes 1 Handgun Ammo (9mm/.45/.36/.44) per shot.
Shotgun Turret Moderate damage per shot, but can hit multiple targets at once. Has a range of 5 tiles radius half square (demonstrated by the preview image above.) Needs 3x Electronics Scrap, 3x Scrap Metal, 1x Motion Sensor, 1 Shotgun (JS-2000/Double Barrel/Sawed-off JS-2000/Sawed-off Double Barrel), 1 Wrench/Pipe Wrench (doesn't consume) to craft. Consumes 1 Shotgun Shell per shot.
Sniper Turret Massive damage per shot, but fire Slower than all other kinds of turret. Has a range of 15 tiles radius half square (demonstrated by the preview image above.) Needs 3x Electronics Scrap, 3x Scrap Metal, 1x Motion Sensor, 1 Rifle (MSR700/MSR788/M14/M16), 1 Wrench/Pipe Wrench (doesn't consume) to craft. Consumes 1 Rifle Ammo (.223/.308/.556) per shot.
How do I deploy them?
Just like how you would deploy a normal furniture, use the "Place" button to place down the turret in your inventory, and put correct ammo in them, they will start shooting as long as they have enough ammo and zombies insight.
Are the turrets invincibled to zombie?
No, zombies will treat them as normal furnitures, which means they can be destroyed if they are in the way of them zombies.
Can I enable this mod mid-game?
Yes, but you will need to visit undiscovered area to find the magazine.
Can I use this mod in Multiplayer?
Sadly no, currently it's a nightmare to modify zombie status in MP, it's almost impossible to not get desync from the mod. So unless someone find a good way to sync zombie stat in MP, this mod will not be safe to use in MP.
