Possibility to "tow" AT guns!

[djinn]

Most def! let them be dropped with parachutes from transprt airplanes or deployed from gliders i.e mobile versions of the AT guns... I can't see how realisitc it would be deploy a parachuting At gun from a bucking glider otherwise

But yes, please, please...

It would be pretty simple to do this, only problem would be the gun wouldn't turn as you drove along:

[truck/halftrack]
addtemplate at_gun_spawner

create objectspawn at_gun_spawner
team 0 pak40_mobile
holdonvehicle 1

Done. Then when someone jumps into the at gun and presses forward it drops off the truck/halftrack. Can't re-attach, but that would be impossible to do anyway.

There are other problems, like the gun will spawn back onto the truck once the gun dies. IIRC if you make the respawn timer very long the next time the truck spawns it won't have the gun on it, but that I'm not sure of.

You've given me hope paasky


Although thats a bit ironic considering the mods name

Another way would be to make it like a bomb or rocket on a plane: have a dummy gun behind the truck which would disappear and a rear gun spawn in it's place when the 2ndary gun is fired. Problem with this: It can be reloaded and the dummy wouldn't re-appear (unless the reload time was made ridiculously long, like 99999 seconds or over 27 hours )

Dropping it like a bomb will best work for trucks... I mean, wont it blow up or tip over on impact if dropped from a plane without parachute?
