uMod - Turret won't turn on with command sometimes - Powerless Turrets

about 45% of the time a turret won't turn on.

What I've noticed: If turrets are stacked its an issue about 75% of the time they won't turn on. either the one on top or the one below or both won't turn on with /turret.

Remember: Players have to be within a certain distance of the turret. See the configuration.

this is at any distance. 1m to 5m and yes I am aware of the distance in the config. I have to remove the turret and replace it and sometimes then it will be ok

I believe that's caused by hitboxes of nearby objects clashing with the turret's hitbox, especially shotgun traps. No matter the distance, even on top of a turret, if I have a few shotgun traps close to it I often get the "This is not a valid entity! (Are you too far?)" error. No biggie though.

I found out there is a "Sweet spot" with /turret. if you can't get it to turn on, face it directly or 10 degrees off the very front, left or right and do /turret usually turns it on. If that doesn't work you have to remove the turret and replace it. I usually bury them in triangles. since I found this "sweet spot" it has been less annoying.

I do find occasional turrets that were turned on to be turned off when I come back later. But to determine why or what the cause is but it doesn't happen but rarely (so far).

Tested, no issues detected. Make sure it's actually loaded.

tomo unload any plugin that does auth and try it without that. some auth plugins aren't great.

you may have to unload all plugins minus the turret plugin, try it then. if it works then you have to load in one plugin at a time and test the turrets with each new plugin you re-add

This issue is still occurring. I've tried numerous angles and am still experiencing the issue where /turret just doesn't work. Not seeing any errors in console either.

Here's an honest reply: since posting this plugin, I've learned a lot more. It's garbage. I'm currently working on an update. Expect it before Monday.
