Skeleton Sockets Configuration

Skeleton Sockets

For the precise operation of tank cannons, configuring skeleton sockets is crucial. They define where projectiles are spawned and ensure the tank's armaments behave correctly within the simulation.

Main Gun Socket

The main gun socket is attached to the main_gun bone, defining the initial position for projectile firing mechanisms.

Socket Hierarchy

A structured socket tree aids in maintaining a clear relationship between various components and their respective functionalities.

Arranging Sockets for Machine Guns

Machine gun sockets need to be systematically aligned with bones that control their rotation, ensuring accurate movement and operation.

Tip

Attach machine gun sockets to bones that manage rotational motion to simulate realistic gun movement.

Note

Verify socket placements to prevent animation issues. Proper attachment is critical for the expected in-game behavior.
