A little help with turrets please

[Tepacana]

I have spent ages trying to get turrets to work with the new rail system, and I got the movement figured out, but when I add AI, it refuses to move or shoot at the test AI controlled ship.

I have put the AI module next to the damage beam computer and the core and still nothing happens. The turret also has power from the station it is on. (when I say station I really mean ship that isn't meant to move, but we dismantled it ready to build an actual station.

Can someone tell me what, theoretically, I am doing wrong?

did you press r on bobby ai and set it to active - turret - target any ?

just making sure

enough mass enhancers?

Can you show us a pic? Or better yet, a BP?

 

[Tepacana]

I doubt it needed mass enhancers because it was pretty small, about 20 blocks.

And yes, the AI was set to Tuuret, Any, Active.

I can't show you a pic because I dismantled it, I said that in my first post. I can try to make a new one and send a picture of that.

It's ok everyone, I fixed it.

My problem was, during testing, i wasn't giving the turret a valid test target, because I was too scared to test it out on pirate bases. I now have a battlecruiser and I plonked a turret on it, it worked! Hooray!
