Space Engineers - How to Build Compact Hinge Turrets - Warfare 2 Custom Turrets!!

[@tytonovaehollandiae1278]

I found that I was easily able to attach the small hinge head by placing down a second rotor behind it, adding a small head and building from there to the main hinge and placing the hinge head so it lines up with the main hinge, then attaching it. No fiddling around trying to line it up while carried by a ship or clang shenanigans.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I wish I had of thought of that before LOL. Thanks for the suggestion!! 😁👌

[@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am]

You can also just drop/place a single armor block in the very middle, for small grid large hinge, place the small hinge part directly on it, for large grid hinge blocks, place a next block on top of the first one, then place the hinge part The hinge part will be instantly rotated by 90° to fit the motion range of the hinge, and you're set. No more Clang-tempting than two-hinge/rotor+hinge shenanigans, and way less finicky.

[@yamatokurusaki5790]

you can also do it with another hinge

[@KonsulGando]

or just a well placed small landing gear, build some small blocks from there and the hinge part in the middle of the large hinge!

[@joelmulder]

The original design is by Aragarth, it was featured in the update livestream.

[@ARockRaider]

This is the sort of thing that would be very hard to credit to anyone person as many designers would come up with it as soon as it is available. Infact I am almost sure I have seen the hinge turret before this update even came out.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I didn't even see that LOL. The first time I saw this type of turret was back in January when I was reviewing a ship created by Dragon Heart here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4Cug6OEgcishcU

It's called Grid Pickup, but it doesn't let you manipulate orientation of the grabbed small grid. You've basically tethered or harpooned it, and you tow it around on a virtual line. Wouldn't work for precision alignment. Great mod though!

this looks pretty cool. In my turret designs, I was using a O2/H2 generator to go from small grid large conveyor to small conveyor, but I think this is what I want to use in stead

[@fakshen1973]

You can use a timer block set to loop itself and force the hinge base to attach in the loop. That would save a step. Also, a welder could be carefully placed next to the turret. If you use a projectorwithin the small grid portion, you could repair the turret continuously.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Considering the fact that we knew the small hinge head will attach to the large one, it was the first thing I've tried once the update landed. I've managed to put them in place in atmo with a small tug on survival.

It's a neat little hack, I really hope they do not patch it or something, I love the way these turrets look! They may not be the most powerful thing you could create but I love the aesthetic nonetheless! 😊

[@JoopKarelSpank1]

you can also put an attach command on an timerblock on either an 1 sec interval or an command that just activates instantly. then you can just spawn the hingepart in by character and hope it drops in the right spot. Might take a few tries

[@gabrielibarra5551]

Whips turret scripts were never complicated to figure out and always worked without a hitch

[@StarKnight619]

@@gabrielibarra5551 this is true and really WHIPS scripts are the exception there are a handful of turret scripts that are complex and broken. Also I would like to point out that ALL of the turret scripts required a Designator (another turret) to work. This is fine because of the limitations of the game, but with this you no longer need to have 2 turrets just for one of them to aim and fire, not only that but you dont need a program block or a timer (for some scripts to work) So to have a Turret Control Block do the functions of a Program Block, Timer Block (if needed), and a Designator turret we now have just one block and no need for a script. I'm more excited for just that one block than I am for the new weapons. My friend and I have somewhat agreed that the list of mods we use when playing has dropped by nearly half due to the new update.

I must admit though I was not the original creator of this turret, I have left a link in the video description of the first ship I saw it on and I said to myself that I really liked that design!

Btw, you don't need to check the hinge orientation (where the whipe stripe is). You can simply adjust the "elevation velocity multiplier" to be negative if the controls are inverted.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I saw that in Splitsie's video, and here I was thinking to myself "Why didn't keen add an inverse rotation option" never even considered negative values 😂🤣

[@Waldherz]

I completely forgot about the small hinge head and wondered how you would connect all of this ^^

[@Vaioplayer88]

while in your control seat you could also add the turret control block to the hotbar menu and set it to control on pressing 1.

[@frphoenix202]

I know I’m late, but I wonder if it’s possible to make a ball turret with a control seat inside of it, somewhat like the turrets on the laat in attack of the clones

[@jackschitt7783]

Does the hinge work to traverse the guns up and down? You didn't show it doing that. Cool build either way! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah it does 😎. Although I would build the hinge straight up as someone pointed out in the comments section 😁👍

[@kinngrimm]

is there an event due to the automation update that would notice if a block or bp would have been fully build? then turn of the large grid projector of and switch on a small grid projector? If yes, please make a vvid about that =)

[@_Shotox_]

how would you hook this up with ammo or does the small hinge act as a conveyer? for survival

[@jalakor]

Hinges count as conveyors, so as long as the hinge end is connected via conveyors, you’ll get ammo to the weapons :)

[@TheGarageGamer86]

This will convey all ammo to the turrets, there is a conveyor path to the guns as long as you have the bottom of the advanced rotor connected to your base\ships conveyor system 😎

[@My_initials_are_O.G.cuz_I_am]

About the finicky construction: If the hinge block is facing up in a natural gravity well, you can just place a filler block (armor/whatever) in the center of the big hinge block and let it fall, then, if the big hinge block is small grid, you place the hinge part on top and attach. If the big hinge block is large grid you place another filler block on top and a hinge part on top of that one and attach. (In either case the hinge part will be instantly rotated to fit the motion range of the big hinge.) If you're outside of natural gravity you can just place the small hinge part in the center and attach.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah it's weird hey when I was creating this turret the first time i tried to just paste the hing part directly in the middle and it refused to attach lol so I ended up just doing it this way haha

[@PeterBoddy]

Aragath is the original creator of the hinge turret I think, it is on his latest ship.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks dude, and yes, they certainly do! 😎👌

[@hellothere_1257]

The way you built it the turret will be unable to shoot down, because the hinge can't turn forward by more than 90°. If you rotate the hinge head to face upwards rather than forwards in the default position you can make the turret aim down by up to ~15° and also need fewer conveyors.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Thanks for the tip mate! 😁, I will have to check this out! Although I thought the hinge part couldn't go more than 90 no matter what? I don't proclaim to be an expert on hinges though as I have not used them as much as I probably should have lol!

[@hellothere_1257]

@@TheGarageGamer86 You can indeed never go past +-90°. The difference is what angle you put the default rotation at. With your setup, if the turret is facing straight forward it's already at 90° so it can't rotate forward any further. If it faces upwards it's at 0° and you can also flip the turret all the way backwards at -90°. The thing is, the AI will never rotate the turret further than straight up anyways, since if it wants to shoot at something behind the turret it will instead rotate the turret base. That means with the design from your video the hinge only actually uses angles between 0° and 90°, all the angles from -90° to 0° remain unused. If you change the orientation of the hinge head the way I suggested, then the turret will instead be at 0° when facing forward, which means it can then rotate anywhere between straight up (-90°) and straight down (+90°), though in practice you won't actually be able to aim straight down because the barrels of the gun will hit the hinge body. Still, even just facing down by 10-20° can be incredibly useful in battle.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

@@hellothere_1257 Thanks mate! I honestly feel bad about the video now LOL. Nevertheless thanks so much for letting me know though, I have now started creating the turret's with the hinge part facing upwards and as you suggested it does point down a fair bit which is awesome 😎👌

You should replace some of the small conveyor junctions with tubes. Conveyor junctions cause a lot of lag and are more expensive, so you don't want to use more than you need

[@Leffrey]

Actually that's just a myth, it's been tested and junctions are just as fine as tubes Source: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIe6m2eprZeUp80

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah the design definitely needs a bit of TLC, although if you are not using copious amounts of junctions on a grid you should be OK 🤣

[@GhostOfSnuffles]

The lag issues with junctions have been resolved since before the survival update a few years ago. You'd need thousands of them to lag things out like they used to.

[@gen2mediainc.577]

that adds the 3x3 small hinge part, not the 1x1 one, so you can't fit the whole turret inside the hinge

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah as GEN 2 MEDIA INC pointed out it only adds a 3x3 small hinge 😢

[@comcastjohn]

I have tried the ship method, drop method, yelling and cussing method and the old reliable throwing the mouse method. No matter what I do, it will NOT attach when I hit attach. I had it dead center for all of them and the window on the right still says attach. I just gave up. So I figured out about the original turrets. Built them and took forever to figure out why I couldn’t find the ammo for them. You have to make an assembler because the basic doesn’t make them. They still won’t kill the wolves! I tried the interior turret and still they breathe and attack me. I checked and rechecked the settings and made sure enemy and neutral were both checked. Still no joy. Any ideas?

Hmm 🤔 small hinge part. 3 con-junctions straight back. Surround the last junction with junctions... Place piston on four corners pointing forward. Extend them a little.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah basically, I guess you could change the orientation of the small hing part to use less, another person pointed out in the comments that the turret won't be able to look down with this arrangement because the hinge can only go 90 degrees. So maybe place it vertically and then it can look down a little bit 😁👍

[@laureeeeeeeeeeeeeeen]

*For you survival players and planet lovers:* The easiest way to do this in atmosphere is to use a piston to push the turret into the hinge, turn the velocity real slow to get it lined up perfectly, then shut off the piston and attach! *EDIT:* This only works if the axis of the piston is parallel to the axis of the rotor..... I just did this twice in survival, glad it worked cause if clang attacked I would have lost a lot of precious material 😅

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah that or you can build an adjacent rotor next to it and run some blocks over the the hinge and place/attach the hinge part that way 😁. On my Pertam save I ended up creating about 10 of these ball turrets, so I basically just made a blueprint of the small grid guns etc and printed them all off and using an atmo ship to install them because building them one by one was going to be sooooo time consuming lol

[@Salty_C.J.]

Maybe in atmosphere it be better to make some sort of small grid crane with pistons to hang over the hinge and build the turret on then lower it into place

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah I think the way that other people have suggested in the comments (and Splitsie) by building adjacent rotors with small heads\hinges would be a better way to go in atmosphere. I tried placing the hing part directly in the middle in creative but it just didn't seem to want to attach, one of the reasons I created the video was because of the fact that there did not seem to be anything on google about it and it took me hours to figure out, so thought I would share what I found 😎👌

[@Salty_C.J.]

@@TheGarageGamer86 turns out its super easy in atmosphere to just drop a small grid armor block as close as possible to the edge of the rotor and then build a little tower with branches at the bottom so it doesnt fall and just hold the piece in the air super cheap too

[@painovoimaton]

For some purposes, the rotor must be upside-down. When constructed this way, I can't figure out how to make the azimuth control non-inverted. It always turns the wrong way no matter what I try. What do? The custom turret controller should really have an option to invert the controls of the azimuth and elevation rotors. Edit: My problem got solved, you just set the velocity multiplier to negative to invert the control from the CTC settings.

Why build all that somewhere in the distance and then annoy yourself with attaching it using ship when you can just place small hinge part where it needs to go and attach it right away...

[@TheGarageGamer86]

I tried that many times, even placing it directly in the middle of the hinge but for some reason it didn't attach 🤔

[@nikelon8227]

@@TheGarageGamer86 Ah , i see. That's weird , works all the time for me. Still a nice tutorial tho.

[@TheIFerreiraoliveira]

they increased the hitbox on the hinge you cant make those properly anymore

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Really? When did they do that? I was using them just last night so hope they haven't dropped an update just now or something!

[@TheIFerreiraoliveira]

@@TheGarageGamer86 just checked why it didnt work it was the wrong hinge, it needed to be large grid hinge with small hinge part and im a dumbass for not noticing it earlier

[@TheGarageGamer86]

@@TheIFerreiraoliveira lol all good man, I'm just glad it's not a patch that has broken it! 😎👌

[@johnwensing9579]

This is the most complicated way to do this. The game has built in functions to attach it

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah but that adds a 3x3 small hinge part, not this one, which is why I went this way. You can also use another rotor next to it and run some blocks to the hinge and place the small grid small hing part on the end and attach it that way.

These turrets are cool but they are as strong as wet toilet paper

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Yeah they are great for small grid fighters 😎👌

[@Gebunator]

Can't you just skip the whole craning process.... Considering Hinges DO have the ability to generate small head too which means whatever will be built on the end will be small grid.

[@TheGarageGamer86]

Nah, unfortunately you cant as it just adds a 3x3 small head which won't allow you to build the guns inside the hinge 😢.

[@Gebunator]

Oh yeah, there just used to be mod that allowed to let you add either 1x1 or 3x3 head. My bad

[@Mysterious_RSA]

blueprint ples

[@Takon_pilot]

This is a pretty good design although 1 missile and poof goes the turret in a fiery explosion.

[@gabrielibarra5551]

Last i checked so do normal turrets, only thing is that with these you dont have that annoying 3x3x3 block of empty air to build around, and you get so much more firepower per space used up

How many times did he say "What we're going to do"/"What we want to do"? 14 times

[@TheGarageGamer86]

LOL really? Oh well, if only i had a dollar for every time I said it aye! 😎

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

i can hardly make a working ship let alone a custom turret!!!

[@Forester-qs5mf]

Try not to constantly tell us you are “going ahead”

Do not cite the dark magic to me witch, for i was there when it was written

Not sure what you mean lol. Happy to help if I can!

[@zeke7100]

ok wow that is really heccing cool. Like actually wants me to play SE again.

I found the method shown by LastStandGamers to be best for me.
