A_TurretLook

Looks for players or other attackable actors in the game. This function is similar to A_Look but it only reacts to sound. Just seeing the player will not wake up a monster using this. This function must be used in the idle states of a monster.

A_TurretLook

(no parameters)

Note: This function has been superseded by A_LookEx, which duplicates and extends its functionality. Use of the newer function is advised in order to maintain maximum flexibility in your code.

The major difference between A_Look2 and A_TurretLook is that A_TurretLook does not do any random state jumps.

Examples

This is a blind imp, you can walk right in front of it and it will not see you, though shooting will awaken it, since its spawn state uses A_TurretLook, making it react to sound. Since it is blind, it never directly aims at you unless you trigger its melee state.
