Better Turret Aim

Improves the aiming ability of auto turrets owned by players who have been granted this permission. Only necessary with the configuration option RequirePermission: true.

Default configuration:

{ "RequirePermission": true, "OnlyVehicles": false, "UpdateIntervalSeconds": 0.015, "Interpolation": 0.5 }

Note: Vanilla rust updates auto turret aim every 0.015 seconds. Each update alters the aim to cover approximately 90% of the gap distance. This plugin works by supplementing the vanilla aiming updates with additional aiming updates. These additional updates are optimized and only apply while the auto turret has a target, so this is unlikely to significantly impact performance.

RequirePermission (true or false) -- While true, only auto turrets owned by players with the betterturretaim.use permission will be affected.

OnlyVehicles (true or false) -- While true, only auto turrets attached to vehicles (e.g., minicopters, modular cars) will be affected.

This affects how much the auto turret's aim will be adjusted from its current point to the target point, per update. Setting to 1.0 will allow the turret to fire on its target continuously (assuming no obstacles are in the way). Since this plugin supplements vanilla aim which uses an interpolation value of roughly 0.9, you can see a noticeable improvement from a low value such as 0.25, so don't feel the need to raise this very much if you want a semblance of balance.

This affects how often the auto turret's aim is updated. Performance-conscious users can increase this value to reduce the update frequency. Increasing this should probably be accompanied by an increase in Interpolation to maintain overall aiming speed. For example, using a value of 0.1 and an Interpolation value of 1.0, the auto turret can fire at most 10 bullets per second at a fast moving target, but fire rate will likely be lower because it's only maximized when the updates happen to align with the weapon's firing rate.
