SetVehicleTurretPosition

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki

This function sets the position of a vehicle's turret, if it has one. This can be used to influence the turret's rotation, so it doesn't follow the camera. Vehicles with turrets include firetrucks and tanks.

Syntax

bool setVehicleTurretPosition ( vehicle turretVehicle, float positionX, float positionY )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!
