How to use doWatch on a vehicle turret?

[Arvic92 10]

Currently I want something along the lines of

gunner _unit doWatch _target;

on a hunter/ifrit/slammer but this doesn't seem to effect the vehicle in any way.

CLARIFICATION: I want the turret to point a specific spot for the purpose of engaging targets

Simply using the vehicle's name usually does the job for me, so no need to use the "gunner" argument. Try that. :)

I stripped my code down to clearly demonstrate my dilemma.

I have tried your way of phrasing the doWatch command and it does nothing either

BluCar1 = 50. cal static

BluCar2 = Marshal

BluCar3 = Hunter HMG

Red1 = CSAT rifleman ~300 meters away

Init.SQF

call {[bluCar1,Red1] execVM "TestScript.SQF"};
call {[bluCar2,Red1] execVM "TestScript.SQF"};
call {[bluCar3,Red1] execVM "TestScript.SQF"};

TestScript.SQF

private ["_unit","target"];

_unit = _this select 0;
_target = this select 1;

while {true} do
{
       //Alert action ["useweapon",_unit,gunner _unit,1];
_unit doWatch _target;
hint "Watching";
sleep .5
};

I don't see the need for wrapping the execvm in a call {}

 null=[bluCar1,Red1] execVM "TestScript.SQF"; 

or

{null=[_x] execvm "testscript.sqf"} foreach [bluCar1,BluCar2,BluCar3] 

should work.

also error in _target = this select 1; your missing underscore _target = _this select 1;

and again in private ["_unit","target"];

I think I know how those errors got there. This is based off of a larger older script that I've use in a past mission. I must of screwed up when adding in target as a parameter.
