Limiting the rotation of velocity pivots
I am using velocity pivots for my ciws systems because robotic pivots either shake violently or don't have enough speed to make them useful. However I only want my ciws to have a rotational arc of 180 degrees (+ or - 90 to its left and right) to prevent it from tracking a target past that range and shooting my ship. Thanks

b) microcontoler .... use biger/lower than, and numerical switches (something like this, i made this in 5 minutes, so it is prety basic, and far from perfect, but sort of work) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2623836448

prepare for compass sensors and math, or maaaybe make your pivots weak and simply but a blocker block so it cannot rotate past a point, but that is a good recipe for spazzing vehicles
