Description
Commander Turret Override

FEATURES:
- Allows a commander to force the turret of their vehicle to look a certain way
- Works for AI, Players or Empty vehicles
- Fully signed
- Works for modded vehicles
- Gunners may lock their turret to disable override.
- Config-based disable
- CBA Keybind (Default ALT+T)

Also known as Commander Designate, modern tanks and APCs allow the commander to take control of the turret to quickly snap to a target, rather than having to describe where the gunner needs to look. Arma doesn't allow for this by default
This mods allows a commander to temporarily override their gunner to snap to a target. This feature is enabled for all vehicles by default, see the documentation section for how to disable it for certain vehicles.

Documentation:
Please submit bug reports, translations, or feature requests to this projects GitHub[github.com]
Making a modded vehicle? Explicitly disable or enable the turret override feature with the following config entry:
class CfgVehicles { class MyVehicle { hasCommanderTurretOverride = 1; // 1 = enable, 0 = disable }; };

This might be a bit of a silly ask... Would you be willing to try and make a mod that locks the orientation of the commanders cupola to the turret with a keybind?

Me and some friends have been using Spearhead 1944, and one of the biggest pet peeves is that, when you turn out of the commander cupola, it doesn't face the same direction as the turret, meaning that the turret could be facing backwards and your cupola will be facing forwards or vice versa. having a key bind to be able to lock the cupola to the orientation of the turret would be nice and would help massively when having to drive the tank from the commander position while turned out.

Basically a way to stop this from happening, and having the cupola always face the same direction as the turret. (Reddit post wasnt by me)

Yes, but my mod predates that feature and also works automatically without specific vehicle configuration

Hi. Just wanna ask, does Commander Turret Override work the same way as ACE‘s Hunter Killer?

This mod does nothing the default game doesn't already let you do.

Is it possible to hide lock turret prompt action menu?

When the gunner is a player, he can't move the turret unless swapping seats, even when locking and unlocking the turret.
It works excellent with AI however the multicrew issue is a bummer, hope you fix it.
Maybe add a second bind to remove the gunner override oder add a timer if the gunner is a player to auto unlock so the gunner(player) can move the turret again.
Thanks in advance

Hey man i love your mods! I'm having an issue with this one, the turret will turn to the correct direction but the gun wont aim to where i'm pointing. Using this in a player filled vehicle. Any idea how to fix?

@Izhevsk M44 Is this single player or multiplayer? In multiplayer you can't do this with a player-driven turret.
