Creating a new Unit with a turret
=================================

.. note::
    The **UnitData**'s ``Attack Data`` should be set to use Turret functionality.

If you have a unit, for example a tank, you, of course, want its turret to aim at targets. To set this up, you need to check the ``Has Turret`` toggle in the **Unit Data**, and set the ``Turret Rotation Speed`` greater than 0.

The next step is setting up the prefab. There is one important thing: the turret of your unit model should have a **correct pivot**. It should be aimed in the Z-axis direction, the same as Unity. How do you check it? Select the turret of your unit, select Pivot & Local at the top of the Unity window:

And check that the turret is aimed the same as the **blue arrow**:

  :align: center

If it isn’t correct, you can fix it in any modelling application like Blender/3ds Max/Maya/etc.

The **Turret** module itself is added and set up automatically at runtime — you don't need to add or configure any component for it. What matters is that your prefab's turret bone is named with the ``rts_turret_`` prefix (see :ref:`automatic_unit_setup`), so the module can find it automatically.

That’s all — now the unit's turret should work.
