I want this turret to only shoot at what's in front of it

[abstract stratus]

I have an idea but I am not sure if it will work

So first remove anything that has anything related to seeing or looking

Then in the nearest attackable target make must see to true

so, i change the code but it still shooting behind

so this is the code for now, but it does not work

I believe you need to set the animation to rotate at its target

[runic bison]

can you explain more? For now i change the target from family=monster to tag=target and then, i set a dummy entity in front when spawn, and if entities are close to the dummy entity, tag them, but i want to know your idea

If you dont want it to rotate at all, i believe you can use minecraft:spawn_entity to shoot the projectile

Oh yeah, forgot he only wants it to shoot within the turrets pov

[cyan heath]

use script api may be

This would do??

ranged_fov: Field of view (in degrees) when using sensing to detect a target for attack.

x_max_rotation: Maximum rotation (in degrees), on the X-axis, this entity can rotate while trying to look at the target.

Seems if you set these to zero or nearly zero then it might only target and shoot anything in front of it and not rotate?

Still have "must see" so you don't target entities behind blocks I guess. But there's no component specifically about looking, I think all entities get a view direction based on their rotation and assumed "head".
