Turret MLRS doesn't work correctly (rockets explode upon the turret firing them)

A few quick tests works here. i need more info to track this down.

I have 8 of them set up on the top of a tower, they have the settings:

turret_scale_aim 2
turret_scale_ammo 2

There is a column between each one.

I'm making some things that could be used as buildable buildings.
Some add more spawns (garrison, stronghold). Some are tactical (sniper tower). Some are defensive (the turret towers.).

Yep. Machine gun turrets work fine.
Svn as of last week.

I tested the MLRS prefab. It works here, being packed that tight is not the best idea as spread and failure in anti-ff detection will ultimately mean they shoot each other to bits at times.
As you see here, the turrets collision boxes are very tightly squeezed in, and the corner ones even overlap.




I don't recommend having them this starved for "manoeuvring space" (use things like mg turrets in tight spots, their 'projectile' are 0'size and handle this stuff better), other then that I cant detect any 'error' here. (well, turret_scale_ammo 2 makes them reload to fast and much.. so they always fire from the top left tube.. but that's not the issue that makes rockets explode.)

Ok, thanks for testing. I guess it's a bug in my laptop's version that's fixed in svn.

I'll drop the ammoscale down in the mlrs prefab.

Also, here's a new command you can try (cmd make buildables/building_turrettower_mlrs.bsp 1 (if sv_cheats is set to 1). Divverent added that command, it will spawn the bsp, other type of model, whatever you want (though without entities). Great fun .
