Problems with turrets

[Pinkie Pyro]

I recently added some turrets to a ship of mine, and I noticed they weren't working, so I went to the AI module and it was set to ship for some reason. so I set them all to turrets and went back, and they still weren't firing, so I went back to the ai module and it was set to ship again, so I set it to turret, got out and look at it again and it still said it was set to ship. help?

Could be a few things.

-Is the bobby AI in the barrel of the turret?
-Did you dock the base of turret to rail basic? If so replace with turret-axis.
-Try removing the bobby AI and re-installing.
-Don't go into the core of the barrel or you will reset the active-status of the AI.

If all else fails...cut the green wire.

you did dock your "Turret" to a rail basic or rail rotator.
it has to be docked to a turret axis to work and not revert to ship

I had this same problem when trying to make "non-moving" docked weapons. If there wasn't at least two entities connected to two different axis turret dock points then the AI would always revert back to "ship"

I had this problem as well after connecting turrets via the place docked entity on rail function. Try spawning ships and building instead ie: build base -> build gun -> dock gun to base -> dock base to station.

Someone should really look @ this tho
