Hi there,

I was just playing around in the editor when I had the idea of craftable auto turrets, that would fit really nicely into Fallout 3 and add a new aspect to the game.

With a certain repair or science skill, the player should be able to combine several items at the workbench to craft free placeable auto turrets.

You would need the following parts:

- Camera
- Sensor Module
- Wonderglue
- Wood Chopper
- Pilot Light
- Scrap Metal
- (Chinese) Assault Rifle (maybe other weapons)
- Matching Ammo (!?)

I know there are many required parts, but these babies are really powerfull and should be difficult to build and have a significant weight to balance out their positive effects.

I made a small scratch for these in the editor. Just imagine some more detail and a stand, made out of scrap metal to carry the turret.

I'm not a good modeller, animator or scipter myself, so I won't be able to create them. I just wanted to share my idea with the comunity! :twirl:

EDIT:
Maybe I'll give it a try in blender this weekend!

That would be pretty cool.

Looks/sounds really awesome!

If anyone took this on, it wouldn't be too hard to make one for most weapons. Would be really epic!

i got intrested there, i gona make a few of my own turetts. i shure there seen in the geck as creatures so you would need to take them into 3dmax & rig the wepons onto them before putting them into game.

Wait....you can rig weapons to creatures! Brahmin with a minigun!!! ...I feel like I'm the only one who would really enjoy seeing that. :/

the turret IS a creature. you can add a wepon to it because it already fires. if you want to add a rifle to a bram you would also need to add new animations & stuff.

but

Yes and No -> there are no animations for this Obviously ! you could convert one of the vanilla anims but they are not really all that suitable for anything other then what they are being used for already.

Amazing. Perfect for raider bases!
