Coding a Turret Problem - Urgent Help required

Okay, I’ve been trying to code a turret all day, I have this theory that, for making an AI Turret, become aware Im near it, I’ll need a grid. I dunno how to code that. In my script there are two vars, that have no use yet, and I was going to use for the awareness grid. Like, the turret wont become aware once Im in the grid,only if I shoot my gun inside the grid/room, but when Im in the sight. Which brings me to the other var, I think Ill use a triangle, or something so, if I walk in front of it, then it will become aware.

Turret Script:

var Activated : boolean = true;
var ActivationSound : AudioClip;
var ActivationanimationString : String;
var awareGrid : GameObject;
var AwareSight : GameObject;

var Disabled : boolean = false;
var DisabledSound : AudioClip;
var DisabledanimationString : String;
var DisableTime : float = 5;
var DisableTimeRandomization: float = 0;
@HideInInspector
var countToTime : float;

var LookAtTarget : Transform;
var damp : float = 6.0;
var bullet : Transform;
var nextShotTime : float = 0.0;
var timeBetweenShots : float = 2.0;

var bulletSpawn : GameObject;
var bulletSound : GameObject;
var muzzelFlash : GameObject;

@HideInInspector
var playerTransform : Transform;
@HideInInspector
var cameraTransform : Transform;

var aware : boolean = true;

function Awake ()
{
	//if (playerTransform)	
	//DisableTime += Random.value * DisableTimeRandomization;
	
	if (aware)
		playerTransform = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").transform;
		cameraTransform = GameObject.FindWithTag("MainCamera").transform;
		AwareSight.GetComponent(Sight_Awareness).collisionDetected = true;
		Activated = true;
          var rotate = Quaternion.LookRotation(LookAtTarget.position - transform.position); 
          transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotate, Time.deltaTime * damp);

          
 
          
}
		
	if(Activated)
	{
	playerTransform = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").transform;
		cameraTransform = GameObject.FindWithTag("MainCamera").transform;
		AwareSight.GetComponent(Sight_Awareness).collisionDetected = true;
        var rotate = Quaternion.LookRotation(LookAtTarget.position - transform.position); 
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotate, Time.deltaTime * damp);
          
     animation.Play(ActivationanimationString);
     	if (ActivationSound)
     	audio.PlayOneShot(ActivationSound);
		Aware = true;
     	}
     	
		
	if (Disabled)
		{
		AwareSight.GetComponent(Sight_Awareness).collisionDetected = false;	
		animation.Play(DisabledanimationString);
		aware = false;
		Activated = false;
		if (DisabledSound)
			audio.PlayOneShot(DisabledSound);
		}

 
function Shoot()
{
    		if (bullet)
				Instantiate(bullet,bulletSpawn.transform.position, bulletSpawn.transform.rotation);
			if (bulletSound)
				holdSound = Instantiate(bulletSound, bulletSpawn.transform.position, bulletSpawn.transform.rotation);
			if (muzzelFlash)
				holdMuzzelFlash = Instantiate(muzzelFlash, bulletSpawn.transform.position, bulletSpawn.transform.rotation);
				
				if (nextShotTime <= Time.time)
          {
              Shoot();
              nextShotTime = Time.time + timeBetweenShots;
       		  var hits : RaycastHit[];
	var anyHit : boolean = false;
	if (Vector3.Angle(transform.forward, playerTransform.position - transform.position)  !aware)
	{
		hits = Physics.SphereCastAll(transform.position, transform.localScale.x / 3, playerTransform.position - transform.position, Vector3.Distance(transform.position, playerTransform.position));
		for (var hit : RaycastHit in hits)
		{
			if (hit.transform.tag == "Level Parts")
				anyHit = true;
		}
		if (!anyHit)
			aware = true;
          }
	}
}

The script is called “Turret_Control_Script” Please let me know if this theory will work, I am currently un-aware how to exactly code it, but I have an idea.

I also have another script for sight, called “Sight_Awareness”

The script:

var playerTransform : Transform;
@HideInInspector
var collisionDetected : boolean = true; 
var Turret : GameObject;



function Awake () 
{
	Turret.GetComponent(Turret_Control_Script).Aware = true;
	collisionDetected = true;
	
}

function OnCollisionStay (collision : Collision)
{
	if (collision.transform.tag == "Player")
		
		collisionDetected = true;
		Turret.GetComponent(Turret_Control_Script).Aware = true;
		Turret.GetComponent(Turret_Control_Script).Activated = true;
		Turret.GetComponent(Turret_Control_Script).Disabled = false;
}

function OnCollisionExit ()
{
	
	collisionDetected = false;
	Turret.GetComponent(Turret_Control_Script).Aware = false;
	Turret.GetComponent(Turret_Control_Script).Disabled = true;
	Turret.GetComponent(Turret_Control_Script).Activated = false;
	
}

They sorta work, but aren’t doing what I exactly hoped for. Please help

Wrong Area, this belongs in scripting

I did that, and no reply. I assumed, this was a work in progress. I will gladly show you the developement of the turret and how the code works with it.
I might even sell it and a turret model complete with textures and animations. Because, I haven’t saw a script that works like this for a turret among the Unity Community. But at the moment, I’d like to get this to work, it is very crucial for my game.
But if you do know about a script that does this, EXACTLY. Please send me a link, Ill be sooooo thankful.
