I have got 4 turrets in an opening cutscene, and I have assigned them to fire at each other. However, they end up firing at my player. Is there any way of hiding the player actor or something?
Also, the templates such as _explosion never show up in game, so all that happens when something is destroyed is the thing disappears. I'm sure I'm missing something . . .
BTW, the cog is below. :-)
