Adding bones to unit

[Narks]

I've got this tank model:

It is modeled to have a rotating turret, yet it does not rotate. I want to make the turret a bone, or split the model into two, so I can have an independent tank head. Any suggestions how to do this?

EDIT: Oh, by the way, there is a bone called "Turret_Bone", but it does not do anything.

Have you thought about making it so when it attacks a unit to set the units head in the direction it is attacking?

Like this action right here:

• Animation - Lock (Attacking unit)'s Head to face (Attacked unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00, 90.00)

You have to follow up with a reset trigger afterwards.

Modify the turret_bone's name to "head"?

Use magos' model editor, node manager I think. I've done tests a long time ago and I don't think it allows locking of bones that are not named "head" or "chest". (I haven't tried all the methods though)

Just open a wc3 model and compare it with that, then you can just rename the bone appropriately. But I don't know what it'd do to the animations.
