- Fixed problem with some pieces not breaking off correctly. If you already own one, contact Matthias Rozensztok for a free update.
Prepared to service all your automated defensive needs, Terminal 3's Sentry Drone is here!
This package includes two "Drones" - a futuristic, spacey Sentry Drone, and a more down-to-earth Sentry Turret.
At its most basic level, the Drone stands guard over a set radius, firing at a list of avatars you specify. It can also do things like fire at a specific, single avatar that you specify in chat, or fire at everyone within range. It can also return fire to ANY avatar that fires at it.
The Sentry Drone can be made destructible, for added fairness and realism in combat situations, or indestructible - your choice. As it takes damage, its parts fall off, culimating in the drone breaking into pieces. It also features a Selfdestruct button for those dire situations where there just isn't any other option.
The Drone is controlled by a HUD - a HUD which can control as many drones as you'd like, and can also be rezzed in-world to function as a Drone Control Panel. If you do this, the HUD reads off an access list of allowed avatars, so you can have your friends, comrades, or group control your Drone(s) as well.
The Drone supports an unlimited number of different projectiles, with an extremely simple method of adding them: Put them in the HUD. And then you're done, and the Drone(s) can shoot them.
The Drone comes with eight projectiles - a conventional missile, a grenade, an explosive, flashy energy pulse, a quieter, more powerful energy beam pulse, a single bullet, a spread of five bullets, and a 100-meter-long laser beam.
Furthermore, the Drone features a Script API - allowing you to react to and control the Drone with your own scripts - doing things like adding particle effects as it takes damage, or making it VICE-Compatible.
As if that weren't enough, clicking a Drone will cause it to follow you around - while still performing its Drone duties, such as attacking and returning fire. Click it again and it will hold its position.
Every feature of the Drone, its HUD, and the Script API is fully documented in a Notecard, and the scripts and instructions necessary to build your own functioning Drone(s) from scratch are included as well - would you rather have an anti-aircraft missile launcher? A minigun turret? A Tesla Coil? If you can put a script in it, you can bring it to life and do battle!
An example of something you can do with the Script API - adding additional guns to a drone - is included in the form of a Sentry Turret - featuring a rocket launcher and two miniguns.
Questions or concerns? Please don't be afraid to contact me, Matthias Rozensztok, either here on XStreet or in-world.

This product still works great!
I use it to build enemy NPCs in my RP. It's very configurable and a lot of fun to create enemies with different profiles. I've customized sounds, attached the scripts to custom NPCs, etc. I love it!
I still love it after six years
Very funny and even useful and you can turn anything into a sentry drone thanks to its instructions and the contents.
love the product.
love it all but i just cant seem to get the selective fire system to work right. oh well....maybe the creator can talk to me later too hahahah. thanks for the awesome product i raped a fps sim filled with griefing douche bags with this tool. taught them a little thing called not being a cheap ass player!
This, arguably, is the very best product of it's kind. The level of detail, from the way it falls apart with damage to it's perfect following distance, is just fantastic. Even better, the creator has gone to great lengths to ensure you get what you need out of this product, with a minimum of difficulty. I personally have almost zero building and scripting skill, but already I've gotten the drones to follow me in formation, and shoot unique projectiles. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
Ok for those of you who put a lot of stock in the reviews to see if the product is worth said price or not, make sure you read this review! I can't say enough good things about this product AND it's creator! Well worth over 1K, this product is a steal! It does everything it says it does and more. I've had so much great fun using this item! Perfect for RPers! (Just make sure it's legal in whatever RP region you're in) But, There are a bit of annoyances along with all the greatness.
1. At first I couldn't understand how to get the turrets to fire at strangers but not group members. After speaking to the creator, Matthias Rozensztok, I got it.
2. Then whenever these turrets get destroyed they leave behind scrap metal everywhere. It's supposed to delete itself eventually but there have been times when I've needed to manually delete all the scrap. But that's only if you make it destructable :P
But in each of these cases I contacted the creater, Matthias Rozensztok, and he helped me as best he could which was a great break from all those other prick-creators who just want your money and not your feedback. Matthias Rozensztok was VERY helpful and nice :)
So what do you get buy putting 400L towards buying this product?
1. Hours upon hours of fun and usefullness!
2. Impressing your friends :P
3 Not one but two turrets!!!!! (I was very impressed the only difference between the two is that one was made for floating and the other one is made for ground position. [Although to make the ground turret follow you, just click it and it will break away from it's stand to follow you])
4. Full contact support From the creator himself, Matthias Rozensztok. (This is opinion from the support I've recieved. Matthias Rozensztok cannot guarentee to fix all your problems but he sure as hell can help steer you in the right direction)
Great product 5+ stars! Bravo Matthias Rozensztok!
I love this turret, I Rp in a Star wars sim and use it to defend my Guilds base. Works very well.
