Defense Turret

[jo]

Turrets are stationary towers equiped with weapons that automatically attack enemies.

• Create a model of a defense tower or use an existing one. E.g. ​http://opengameart.org/content/turret-reviwed
• Create a proper texture.
• Create a class derived from controllable entity to describe the turrents moving capabilities.
• How can enemies be detected properly? Design a controller for the defensive turret.
• Equip the turret with a weapon. Create a weaponsetting.

A new turret model + texture + some logic has been created in the autumn semester 2012. Some issues still have to be fixed:

• Limit the turret's angular movements (somehow it does not work properly, although the right function has been overwritten).
• Limit the turret's linear movements. It should stick to its base and stay there.
• Improve the turret's AI such that it can make a difference between friends and foes.
• Attach the turret to the Planetary Destroyer or embed it in a level. (What about having the transporter be defended by a turret?)
