Burst shooting turret?

Can anyone tell me how the burst-shooting turret in Super Turret was made? If you're unfamiliar with the map it's on sam686's server.

Re: Burst shooting turret?

Game editor don't support turret weapons, it can only be added using text editor like notepad. In a level file, put a "W=Burst" or "W=Bouncer" or "W=Triple" at the end of Turret line, so it looks like this.
  Code:
Turret 0 5.24 4.74  0 W=Burst
This will not work if you have outdated version of Bitfighter, need version 015a for this to work.

I tried your code, but it wouldn't work. I have Bitfighter 15a, what do you think is wrong?

Probably because of editor won't support "W=Burst" option, editor removes "W=" option when saving over the level.. After making changes to editing text in level file, test it by hosting that level, not testing from editor.
