Quad Autocannon Turret Custom [Vanilla / no DLC]

Description
Inspired by Aragath's Blueprint
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2741178291

Standalone Custom Quad Autocannon Turret

I removed the DLC Blocks to make it accessible to everyone.

### IMPORTANT NOTE ###
Unlike Aragath's Version this BP has its own built in Turret Controller. However the small Grid Target Block only allows a targeting range of 600m (Large Grid is 800m). You can easily place a Large Grid Turret Controller and shut down the built in Small Grid Controller if you want the extra targeting range.


### HOW TO MAKE IT YOURSELF ###
People frequently ask how to do this yourself, so here is a little guide:
Place a Large Grid Hinge first and remove the Hinge Part that is placed with it. Go to the Hinge menu and add a Small Hinge Part to place a 3x3 Small Grid Hinge Part attached to the Large Grid Hinge. You then have to place a small grid block (e.g. 1x1x1 cube) in the center of the 3x3 Hinge Part. Next remove the 3x3 Hinge Piece. Place another small cube adjacent to the cube you placed before so you can then place a Small Grid 1x1x1 Hinge Part right in the center of the Large Grid Hinge. This will allow you to attach the 1x1x1 small grid hinge part to the large grid hinge via the large grid hinge menu.
(You will be able to align the small grid 1x1x1 hingepart perfectly using this guide. However, since it has to be aligned perfectly, this method obviously does not work in a gravity environment)






### UPDATE LOG ###
I flipped the Large Grid Hinge, since the camera view had reversed elevation controls.
Also i added a large grid conveyor to the base because attaching the rotor directly to another grid can sometimes be a little buggy.

I modded the ammo and controller ranges if anyone is interested.

If you take a large hinge, remove its "hinge part" then put a small grid hinge part in its place and attach it through the option in the menu, that should allow you to do that.
