 Tower
 Represents a Tower
+I'm not actually sure if you have to code C++ in order to have your result. I would suggest to simply create a new spaceship template or maybe better a
+new template for a pawn. (The tower don't need to be spaceships; pawn is just fine.)
+Example for a template: /data/levels/templates/assff.oxt && /data/levels/include/weaponSettingsAssff.oxi
+@ assff.oxt: you don't need an engine (or your towers could fly away :-) and probably no Cameras. (just try what happens if you leave them out.) 
+@ weaponSettingsAssff.oxi:
+<weaponslots>: location where you want to have your tower to be equiped with weapons
+<weaponsets> : if you press fire, you actually always fire a whole set of weapons. The amount of weaponsets is defined here. (I'm not 100% sure whether this explanation is right.)
+
+There are three <Weapon> tags - one for each weaponslot. Each weapon can contain several objects which you would probably
+refer to as "weapons":
+
+LightningGun: Shoots a slow, rotation, yellow "ball".
+HsW01: the default laser weapon
+SimpleRocketFire: a weak (self steering) rocket
+RocketFire: a strong rocket
+                         
+About your Tower's Template location - either keep it in the level or do it similarly to the Assff templates.
+(If your towers behave & look nicely, I'm quite sure others want to include them in other levels, too.)
