How does the ability restrict the turrets rotation to 90 degrees foreward?

I can't find any reference to turret roatation or firing arcs in the ability bag or action apply in the ebps. The only thing I don't understand is the animator_set_state spearhead paramiter in the ability bag. Is this what locks the turret foreward?

What I am trying to do is reduce the angle in which the turret can turn from 90 degrees to 60 degrees. If this is impossible, let me know. If it is possible, letting me know how I could do this would be awesome!

The ability (abilities\west_german\toggle_ability\battle_plans\armor_plans\spearhead_mp) adds a new slot_item (slot_item\west_german\spearhead_item).

That slot_item changes hardpoint_01 in on_add_actions to weapon\west_german\ballistic_weapon\tank_gun\tiger_kwk43_88mm_spearhead_mp.

That weapon has lower values in tracking/normal/max_left and tracking/normal/max_right. That is the place which you are looking for.

Sneakeye to the rescue!

Thanks for explaining how spearhead works, I didn’t even realize on_add_actions could do that
