Nice work.

Yes, nice work, Ivan, but there is one problem which is similar to the problem you had with your tank gun. That is, the gun left and right controls have no limits. It's a problem because if the gun shoots while aiming at the ground, the entire UFO explodes! No intelligent Alien would design a weapon like that!

Fun fact: UFO Stands for Unidentified Flying Object

Everyone knows that!

I wanted to make a limiter, but if you use springs, it turns out to be an unreliable design, since the rotation must be 180 degrees. If there was a script limiting the rotation of the axis, it would be a simple and elegant solution, I didn’t come across such a thing, and I myself am not strong in scripts. (((

A simple way to limit the motion of an object is to place a small box or a circle at the plus and minus limit points. In the case of this UFO, the box or circle can be glued to some other structure on the UFO but it must have the same collision layer as the gun (which happens to be D). Also, you must reduce the motor torque to a much lower value. Currently you have it set to 50000, but it must be reduced to 100 or the gun will not stop moving when it hits the limits. When you see that the limits are working as desired, you can make them disappear but still be functional by setting their color transparency to zero (R,G,B,T). That will work because I tried it!

thanks for the support, but I made the limiter the way I wanted with the help of a script, and in my opinion it turned out not bad.

ivan - That's great! It does work very well.

Now you are an experienced script coder!
