🛠️ Step 2 – Create a Turret

Create a turret from the top menu:

GameObject ▸ Turret ▸ Create Single Barrel Turret
GameObject ▸ Turret ▸ Create Double Barrel Turret

This will drop a fully functional prefab into your scene with:

• TurretController and TurretSoundManager added

• Detection collider and spawn points configured

• Rotation, shooting, and audio ready to go

---

▶️ Step 3 – Test It in Action

Press Play. The turret will automatically:

• Search for GameObjects tagged Enemy

• Rotate and aim predictively

• Fire based on range and alignment

To demo moving targets, add the included LinearPingPongMover to any GameObject (like a capsule):

// Moves the object back and forth
Add Component ▸ LinearPingPongMover

This creates simple motion ideal for tracking tests.

🧱 Required Components

All turrets need the following components (auto-added when using the menu):

• TurretController – Handles logic and firing

• TurretSoundManager – Manages 3D audio

• SphereCollider (isTrigger) – For range detection

You can manually add them via:

Component ▸ Advanced Turret AI

🧰 Extra: Workflow Customization

Once the turret is in the scene:

1. Assign a Projectile Prefab (Or leave empty to use raycast mode)

2. Optional VFX Add a Trail VFX prefab for raycast shots, or a Muzzle Decal for muzzle flashes

3. Tweak Settings Adjust Range, Fire Rate, Damage, etc. in the Inspector

4. Use Scene Gizmos Validate:

   • Spawn points (red spheres)

   • Firing directions (green rays)

   • Obstacle checks (yellow rays)
