  Probably.
  There might even by a variable you can change.
  
  If there isn't, you should hit up some of the guys in #tribes and convince them to write one for you.

  return;
  }
  
  %client.setControlObject(%obj);
  commandToClient(%client, 'ControlObjectResponse', true, getControlObjectType(%obj));

  
  This is from the Classic scripts, which has the anti control missile that was added. Does ne one see someway that i can just add a simple variable to the turret, or does a script have to be made

  If your goal is to just shut down turret control entirely, it should be way easier than all that, unless I'm forgetting something very important...
  

  function serverCmdControlObject(%client, %targetId)
  {
        commandToClient(%client, 'ControlObjectResponse', false, "object cannot be controlled.");
  }
  

  
  Also, use code tags to post code, not quote tags.

  There is a lovely flag the game provides called the canControl flag.

  There is a lovely flag the game provides called the canControl flag.

  
  is that
  
  canCantrol "false"; ?
  or canCantrol "0"; ?

  Phantom, that flag looks to be datablock specific, not a per-object flag.
  And, I think he's looking for a catch-all

  Well my problem was that the map has turrets on opposite teams that are in range to kill each other. GasMask has this same problem, 2 AA turrets within range of eachother, and people at the begining control the turret and fire down the other one.
  
  That is the problem, so the Code Red Shifter gave me works fine, I really dont have a problem having all the turrets non controlable, no one should be anyways.
  
  But for future use, is thier way to put in a simple line, for a specfic turret? or no luck.
