whew. What a productive couple of days. I did a lot of expansion on the level, and then

Modeled this turret for the baddies, and did a bunch of coding getting it to aim properly, and be able to switch targets to attack its friends when hacked, and get them to attack it back. Its all working now, You can hack them from terminals nearby, and it'll start blasting away at all its buddies, before exploding, and damaging anyone too close. I've placed it in a pretty unavoidable area, so that players have to learn about hacking.

Technically, they still dont have to hack it, if they could shoot it till it blows up, or if they're crazy, they could try to run past to somewhere safer.
