Tank line of sight issue
« on: February 19, 2015, 11:13:20 pm »
Tanks have weird line of sight. With the turret rotating seperate from the body and having the line of sight, it's possible to end up with a tank whose line of sight is locked backwards.

One solution is to have the turret realign to forward when you make the tank look (not move) in a certain direction with the right mouse button.
Another solution is to give the body and the turret their own line of sight cones.

use ctrl+rclick to rotate the turret independently, it's part of the "alternate movement methods" option, as well as moving the LOS cone to the turret instead of the body.
