I have an advanced guard tower, that I would like to fire a missile from 3 slots on each of the 4 sides.

How would I go about getting this to work efficiently?

I tried setting up 4 turrets (one for each side), coding it so they do not move.
Setting up 4 different natural turret angles.
And finally having a weapon that could target 45d that was given to each turret.

Relevant Draw code:

	 <scriptedModelDraw id="ModuleTag_Draw" OkToChangeModelColor="true" ExtraPublicBone="Weapon_FXA01 Weapon_FXA02 Weapon_FXA03 Weapon_FXB01 Weapon_FXB02 Weapon_FXB03 Weapon_FXC01 Weapon_FXC02 Weapon_FXC03 Weapon_FXD01 Weapon_FXD02 Weapon_FXD03">

<ClipReloadTime MinSeconds="0.8s" MaxSeconds="1.2s" />
<Nuggets>
	 <ProjectileNugget WarheadTemplate="NODRocketWarhead" ProjectileTemplate="RocketSoldierRocketProjectile"></ProjectileNugget>

What happens with this set-up is that it fires at a target 3 turrets are able to fire at the motionless target. I of course wanted it so that a motionless target can only get hit by the turret whose side it is facing.

What are my best options?

Also I've about having a parse_transition from a firing to a default state, but I am unsure how to do this, any coding tips please?

Covering flap Draw code:

	 <!-- DRAW FLAPS-->
	 <scriptedModelDraw id="ModuleTag_Draw_Flaps" OkToChangeModelColor="true">
	 <ModelConditionState ParseCondStateType="PARSE_DEFAULT">
		 <Model Name="GB_AGTFlaps" />
	 </ModelConditionState>
	 <AnimationState ParseCondStateType="PARSE_NORMAL" ConditionsYes="PREATTACK_A">
		 <Animation AnimationName="GB_AGTFlaps_ATTA" AnimationMode="ONCE" />
	 </AnimationState>
	 <AnimationState ParseCondStateType="PARSE_NORMAL" ConditionsYes="FIRING_OR_RELOADING_A" Flags="START_FRAME_LAST">
		 <Animation AnimationName="GB_AGTFlaps_ATTA" AnimationMode="MANUAL" />
	 </AnimationState>
	 </ScriptedModelDraw>

While I realise that this is C&C3 code. This kind of weapon set up (or at least a solution on how to do it) is the kind of thing that generals modders can do in their sleep.
I can make sense of most ini code.

Thanks for any help!
