CBaseObject:
-Member: m_viewtarget (offset 1468) (type vector) (bits 0)

Possibly?

My guess is that it would be hardcoded, though if there's a POV property it might work.

There is a hidden cvar
tf_sentrygun_newtarget_dist (default: "200")

I have not had a chance to test what this does though.

A guess is that the sentry gun will switch a new target when the current target is 200+ away

Sentry Guns focus on the closest player to them. We use a strategy in matches to take them out with a medic/soldier ubercharge where the medic and soldier keep running forward to get ahead of each other to keep the SG from pushing the soldier back.

I will give tf_sentrygun_newtarget_dist a go later today.

Didn't do anything.

So is there no way?

It's not possible with a plugin, it's a hard coded value of 1100.0.

VirtualUnprotect it and change.
