Froid's WeaponCore Rotor Turret Script

This script was made to fill the gap left by Whip's and Rdav's scripts not being able to fire WeaponCore weapons mounted onto their turrets. As of that this script takes inspiration from both of them and adds a little bit of WeaponCore magic to allow these weapons!

You need at least one WeaponCore turret on your main grid, otherwise the script won't be able to initialise the WcApi.
If you don't have WeaponCore weapons in your build use either Whip's Turret Ai Slaving Script for more configuration or Rdav's Easy Auto Turret Script for easier setup. They are both more stable and have better vanilla tracking.
Also this script might get superseded by the Diamond Dome Defense Script as WC support seems to be on the way. I'll keep this up for it's config options and (in my opinion) easier setup aswell as allowing different weapons per turret, however DDS will be a lot more stable and I will modify my turrets to work with both.

Easy Setup: Name your azimuth rotor "Azimuth", your elevator rotors "Elevation" and put your weapons and the rotors into a group named "Turret Group". Setup Examples are in the pictures in the slider. (Blocks only need to include the Name tag). Ai Turrets should be called "Designator".
---
Config Options: Change the name tag for the Azimuth and Elevation rotors and a designator aswell as a timer.
---
Vanilla Support: Previous WeaponCore scripts didn't support Vanilla weapons on the same construct, this script however will take both into account. Wanted to have this one turret work with and without Vanilla Weapon Replacement? Now you can!
---
Trigger Timer on Shoot: The script will trigger a timer the moment a weapon starts shooting (i. e. for the Atlas Super Laser when it starts charging after shoot once was triggered). Use this to emulate recoil on your barrels!
---
Multiple Targeting Modes: The script will always attempt to get targets via WeaponCore turrets and if that fails try to find one using Vanilla turrets. However if you enable the beta config option Allow Main Target Tracking the script will try to target the main target first (main target is the one you see the stats of on screen).
The script will only be able to avoid friendly firing when using WeaponCore turrets. Remember to set proper rotation limits!

The small grid M2Destroyer launchers in [Mexpex] MWI - Homing Weaponry cause the turret to spin like crazy.
-> The launchers have their front face setup incorrectly, confusing the turret. Reported to Mexpex
Preferably the first elevation rotor should face right or place only hinges for elevation.
-> Unlikely to be fixed at the moment. Fixed by adding a config option per turret.
If the weapons Aim towards 0° in rest position the rotors move awkward
-> Not sure why this happens, investigating

I also used SEModder4™'s No Edges mod
