Why do the wires smg turrets kill my party/friends?

[Batman]

I put smg turrets around base and they kill my friends upon log in...is this a bug?

Did you set them to only target zombies? They can be set to target various types of entities, and if you have them set incorrectly they will target friendlies. Also, if there are zombies in the vicinity, they can shoot you/your friends while trying to target zombies that are behind you.

Your friends certainly got a warm welcome

Any block that can target a zombie or player (think cameras/turrets) can be set to target specific entities by opening the block. As stated above, make sure your turrets are target zombies only, not self/allies. As for "wires" I assume you mean electric fences? Any trap that cannot target an entity will affect all who pass through it. There's no way to change that.

Prolly a typo for "wired", one letter to the side.

The default setting for turrets is to target zeds....

Are you and your friends Allies? If not, that's probably why the turrets are shooting at them.

If you are Allies, then I have no idea.

The default settings also target anyone who isn't an ally or you.

Theres a bug or somthin. I set to zombies and strangers and they kill my non stranger friend but not my other friend, He is certainly friend. He friend.

Stranger is anyone not marked as ally. If you think it is a bug, show a screenshot of the turret's settings and a screenshot that shows each player (I by default on PC) and their status of ally or party member.
