Hey Thomas, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Turning the tank is surprisingly hard given how relatively easy it is to make it go back and forth. To make it turn right, you’d want the left tread to rotate forward while the right tread rotates backwards. Once you figure out if the tank is rotating left or right, that shouldn’t be hard to implement. The problem is, with this method, you only get one value to work with: the Z rotation. If the tank is facing along the Y axis, then any negative value will be turning right and any positive value is turning left. Once you turn around though, that doesn’t work. You’d need to take the difference between the previous rotation and the current one. In order to store that previous rotation data, AFIK, you’d need to use python and write a script which is well outside the scope of this tutorial.
All that to say, if you need the tank to turn for a specific animation shot, it’d be easiest just to animate the treads manually.
