Rotation Axis

Support Animation and Rigging
1

Hi!

I’m currently trying to animate a simple gatling gun turret.
My problem is that I haven’t found out a way of spinning the barrel and the base at the same time. The barrel only spinning on the X-axis for example while the base is rotating.

Is there any way of making the barrel always stick to the base but still be able to spin?

Thanks in advance.

I attached the .blend file if it would help.

Parent the barrel to the base then the barrel will follow the rotation of the base as it rotates.

Thanks! Can’t believe it was that simple.
