Usually, you use the detail0 turret subobject not the detail1 subobject.  Not sure if that alone could break it.  They're also set to no movement.  Is the ball supposed to move and shoot or remain stationary?  I'm also not sure what the purpose of the turretholder object is.  It's not visible as far as I can tell, nor part of the turret.  Why not just make it part of the main mesh?  Seems a waste of a subobject to me.

Wow, that's just a few dumb mistakes... It moves and fires alright now, thanks.
The ball is supposed to move and shoot, yeah. As for the turretholder thing, I split that off for convenient unwrapping. Made it an untargetable subsystem now.

If you are using Blender and you want to use Scooby Doo's utility for calculating the uvec and fvec:
- Copy the angle of the turret (or an empty with it's "z" as the uvec and it's "y" as the fvec) into the converter
- Click "Adjust for 3dmax"
- Press Calculate

Important notes...

• When viewing model in PCS2 and setting uvec and fvec values using PCS2 vectors it is important to notice that first vector element ('X') needs to be reversed.
• Turret uvec and turret normal need to match (while remembering the above rule) or otherwise turret rotation matrix will not work as it should.

You may also need to reverse the "z" element on the uvec and the "y" element on the fvec in some cases, particularly if you've got a multipart rotated on the x-axis only.

The "x" element almost always needs to be reversed.

As this thread was revived i could add a note that it is no longer necessary to match turret uvec and turret normal. Assuming you have a valic turret fvec and uvec the uvec will override (and overwrite) the turret normal.

This also means that the firing points will look very messed up in PCS2, but as long as you rigged them just fine in your 3d program they'll work in game.
