Is there any way to determine if an autoturret was deployed by a player vs a turret on the map?

I want to say: if a turret was placed by a player, then kill scientists.  If it was not placed by a player, then dont kill scientists.
TurretsIgnoreScientists flag holds true for any turret.  Thank you

no, you would need to modify the code for this and change:

var obj = ruleSet.HasFlag(RuleFlags.TurretsIgnoreScientist) ? false : (object)null;

to

var obj = ruleSet.HasFlag(RuleFlags.TurretsIgnoreScientist) && entity.OwnerID.IsSteamId() ? false : (object)null;
