This is a contraption a friend and I have been working on. It's a near perfect recreation of the sentry from Team Fortress 2, as a contraption, not a SENT.
When no players are within range of it, it turns back and forth in a 90 degree arc, looking up and down a bit. When a player besides you comes within range, it turns to them and fires. It also plays the beeping sound effect when it changes direction.
This is the current version, with all of the fancy details and everything.

Here are some older screenshots that were taken early on to display functionality.

My friend is working on the look of the level 2 and I'm learning how I can use a propspawner correctly to make The rockets for a level 3 if we get there. Once we deem it completed, we'll let you guys have it.
But until we do release it, we would like some opinions and suggestions for how to improve it.
A video is best suited for this kind of thing, looks cool so far though.
All I have is a video of the older outdated one, but I'll link you to it anyways.

What's your steam nick?
there is a guy on the server I play on that's kinda known for downloading stuff, never making his own stuff and says the downloaded stuff is his and he got an exact identical turret. Also the day before he "made it" he didn't even know how to create a holo box in e2. The next day he said he made that turret :geno:
My steam nick is DarthRiko. You if you told me the guy's name I could take a look of the list of people i've played with recently and see if he's on it.

Oh yep. I know him. He's the guy that made a large majority of the holograms, the friend I mentioned at the beginning.
I made the code that makes it aim and move and stuff, but I fail at holograms.
Whereas he made the holos, but needed it to actually move.
So we just combined them.
So it's fine. He's cool.
In his defense though, I learned how to make holos and manipulate them in a matter of hours, it's just my lack of artistic ability that prevents me from making this myself. So even if he didn't know how to one day, doesn't mean he couldn't have made the holograms the next.
oh it's just that I never actually see him make anything, he didn't know anything about holos and he suddenly had this, and he's downloaded tons of stuff saying it's his many times before :p
Well if you find evidence that this isn't his, let me know. I don't like working with thieves. But for now, considering he had been manipulating and working on them in front of me, I'll continue to assume he made them.
nice holoturret video. I subscribed in hopes to see a updated version.
Pretty cool bro, now make it do its level up from 1 to 2 to 3. If you can accomplish that, I will be impressed.
I like the system, could use a better model though, like the one from cod6 but its still great with that :buddy:
Holy mother of god I did almost the same turret in 2009

That would somewhat defeat the point of it being a working [i]TF2[/i] turret.

Don't fall for the trap.

Then it would be a COD6 Turret, not TF2 sentry. I may make one in the future though.

Yeah... no. Your turret has no stand, and a lot of people have tried TF2 turrets before, so it's hardly an original idea.

Lol, sorry. I had a cold that day. You're lucky I only had to clear my throat once.
I clicked on the thread expecting some kind of wire tutorial with a turret prop stuck to it.
I am thoroughly impressed that this is not the case, and you took the effort to redo the turret out of props.

Holograms, not props.
The difference being that holograms don't look as cool, are easier to use, and have no physical properties, making them virtually lag-free.
