Automated Turret Devices

The Automated Turret can be set to scan for and attack a specific type of target, and you can even dynamically change target types using events. Depending on how you customize the options, the turret will scan targets that enter its activation radius, and attack any player or AI that fits the group you set in the Possible Targets option. Some examples of ways to use this turret:

• Tower Defense games: Place around each base and target teams hostile to the team that owns the base.
• Capture the Point games: In any game where teams must capture and defend certain areas, place these turrets around each point, and when the point is captured by a different team, use events to change which team the turrets target.

If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be helpful to rename them. You can choose names that relate to each device’s purpose, so it’s easier to remember what each one does.
