Template:Prototype parent A turret that needs no extra ammunition. See the extensions for turrets that need some kind of ammunition.

Extensions

• Prototype/AmmoTurret ammo-turret
• Prototype/ElectricTurret electric-turret
• Prototype/FluidTurret fluid-turret

Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithOwner.

Template:Prototype property Requires ammo_type in attack_parameters unless this is a Prototype/AmmoTurret.

Optional properties

Template:Prototype property The name of an entity. Note that this overrides how EntityWithHealth loads the corpse, forcing it to be a string instead of an array of strings.

Template:Prototype property Whether the secondary (animation) speeds should always be used.

Template:Prototype property The intensity of light in the form of energy_glow_animation drawn on top of energy_glow_animation.

Template:Prototype property The range of the flickering of the alpha of energy_glow_animation. Default is range 0.2, so animation alpha can be anywhere between 0.8 and 1.0.

Template:Prototype property Controls the speed of the preparing_animation: 1 ÷ preparing_speed = duration of the preparing_animation

Template:Prototype property It's randomized whether a particular turret uses the primary or the secondary speed for its animations.

Controls the speed of the folded_animation: 1 ÷ folded_speed = duration of the folded_animation

Template:Prototype property It's randomized whether a particular turret uses the primary or the secondary speed for its animations.

Controls the speed of the folded_animation: 1 ÷ folded_speed_secondary = duration of the folded_animation

Template:Prototype property It's randomized whether a particular turret uses the primary or the secondary speed for its animations.

Controls the speed of the prepared_animation: 1 ÷ prepared_speed = duration of the prepared_animation

Template:Prototype property It's randomized whether a particular turret uses the primary or the secondary speed for its animations.

Controls the speed of the prepared_animation: 1 ÷ prepared_speed_secondary = duration of the prepared_animation

Template:Prototype property It's randomized whether a particular turret uses the primary or the secondary speed for its animations.

Controls the speed of the prepared_alternative_animation: 1 ÷ prepared_alternative_speed = duration of the prepared_alternative_animation

Template:Prototype property It's randomized whether a particular turret uses the primary or the secondary speed for its animations.

Controls the speed of the prepared_alternative_animation: 1 ÷ prepared_alternative_speed_secondary = duration of the prepared_alternative_animation

Template:Prototype property The chance for prepared_alternative_animation to be used.

Template:Prototype property Controls the speed of the starting_attack_animation: 1 ÷ starting_attack_speed = duration of the starting_attack_animation

Template:Prototype property Controls the speed of the attacking_animation: 1 ÷ attacking_speed = duration of the attacking_animation

Template:Prototype property Controls the speed of the ending_attack_animation: 1 ÷ ending_attack_speed = duration of the ending_attack_animation

Template:Prototype property Controls the speed of the folding_animation: 1 ÷ folding_speed = duration of the folding_animation

Template:Prototype property Whether spawn_decoration should be spawned when enemies expand.

Template:Prototype property A single CreateDecorativesTriggerEffectItem or an array of them. Decoratives to be created when the spawner is created by the map generator. Placed when enemies expand if spawn_decorations_on_expansion is set to true.
