Well... Generals wasn't really intended for units like this.
But the fact the I have use "scanning turret" shenanigans makes this a tad bit less majestic of a beast.

Q: don't use ScanIdle shenanigans?
A: if I don't, they'll be facing random directions.

Q: NaturalTurretAngle?
A: Didn't work.

Oh yes, the front and side turrets have build variants.

WOAH how do i do that? that unit is cool 👍

Currently learning how to create 3D models with GMAX so that I can make my C&C Generals Zero Hour mod even more better. 🙂

Its a command center...
I REALLY like to go in-detail on how I managed to pull this off but it takes so much effort.

17 Turrets was a silly idea.

It basically takes advantage of Firebase Logic.

To be honest, with something as outright badass as a floating command center battle fortress, I woulnd't CVARE if all the turrets kept moving. xD

AWESOME!

And speaking of cool stuff, did you draw your avatar here? If you did, it's good! Better than I'd have done. I can only draw Sonicy things for some reason (which I know you dislike xD)

It moves. Yes. It has 17 slots where I can put the units in.

The front cannons come in two different colors(Red and Green) randomly, side turrets come in two different forms as well randomly. These are done with BuildVariants.

The back turret is always the same.
In a sense, its 6 units in one.

How did you make the turrets stay with the vehicle? if i remember correctly, they would always stay put when the structure moved when i tried it.

Also, about your question, the closest i ever came to making a bunch of turrets work was putting portable structures onto portable structures. But, they would always either turn weird or not fire, not work at all, etc.

I forgot what piece of code had done it.

But I think it was making the turrets into 'INFANTRY' and not 'PORTABLE_STRUCTURE'
