I just had a thought but I am not sure if this can be done. Is it possible to attach objects to movers?

Things like Team Turrets. For a map I am working on I thought it would be nice to have a helicopter that repeatedly flys by shooting at the players. I can get the helicopter to fly around but can I attach a team turret to the mover?

Yes. I have test map that uses a forcefield AttachMover to block a doorway. I attached 2 sound actors that make a humming sound to the forcefield mover, so when the forcefield gets switched off, it drags the 2 sound actors away with it. (and toggles the sound off)

Don't know. I'll fiddle with it and see. smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

Does this work? Never thaught of doing this. I tend to code a nifty light script and attach a sound to it. The script controls how a light affilated to a forcefield flickers and fades off. The sound syncs to this light and when it turns off, the sound also stops.

Nifty idea though.

Yup, I use TriggerLights in the doorway while the forcefield is "on." I also use a TriggerToggled SpecialEvent(PainInstigator) to "Zap" the player if he gets too close. smilies/images/icons/grin.gif
I use 2 Sound actors for a Stereo effect and change the pitch of one of them very slightly to emphasize the effect.
