    That's a bunch of wierd...

    Never seen that happen before in all of my 4-5 games as a marine.

    Did the turret still fire and everything?

    I've had a functioning Offense chamber sink inot the grate like that on that exact same map. Guess it's a bug.

    Odd...

    The turrets have really small hitboxes...

    Could it be destroyed?
    Cause if it sinks enough into the floor you wouldnt be able to reach the box..

    = invincible turret!
    Good for you, bad for Kharaa.

    I saw that once in the same place.
    There was both an oc and some sentries. The sentries didn't shoot at the oc, but they did shoot at aliens.
    I finally managed to find the right angle to kill the oc, so it was possible.

    I've done something similar.
    I went into GEST to evolved to into a Fade
    and the GEST coccoon type thing sunk thru the metal and into the green water below.
    "kill" in console was needed

    Yeah the thing with the metal grate is definitely a bit buggy. Another thing that happens is if the commander drops supplies, often they'll go right through the grating, so you can see them but not get 'em <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I set a sentry turret down on a grate once, and it sank. Another time I evolved into an onos on a grate, and when I popped out, I sank and got stuck.

    EDIT: Another thing I've noticed is that on some sloped surfaces, items dropped almost always sink. Seems to only happen when there is something underneeth it.

    On a one-sided game of Eclipse (pre-patch) I ran past the forest of turrets and onto those electric thingies. I evolved to gorge and planned to build a bunch of OCs on the electric thingies... they all fell right through. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Same thing happens on Bast in the Steam Production room... if you are all the way up at the top of the machinery, OCs sink right through the pipes. (happens with alot of stuff)

    is it because they're func_walls or something?

    It could very well be func_walls, good idea.

    i've seen this phenomenon also. turrets slowly sinking sometimes dissapearing completely and medpacks and ammo also i think. also for some reason i remember in other mods or in half life itself, guns slowly moving down if they are partially embeded in a vertical wall.

    Once I was building a nice little stack of DefChams and OffChams and everything was going great till I started working on the last stack of 4 OC's. Every time I got the 4th one up the top 3 would sink into the bottom one. No idea where they went or if they still worked because the game ended fairly soon afterwards. They werent built on grates or anything, this was outside the marine start (Triad/Alpha side rather than Horseshoe side) on eclipse.

    Actually, in my profession as a Gorge, i notice that this only happens when the turret/o chamber spawns on top of another hitbox and there is a grate below it like in Nancy. It happens when an alien or marine is standing in the spot where it spawns.
