I am posting this under suggestions/requests because this is not a release. It is simply another stupid thing ive made that ide like to share.

Basically, tanks with controllable turrets. its pretty simple, just updating the origin of the func_tankmortar to follow the func_vehicle and copy the angles from the player to the turret.

Attached are some images of what it looks like, a map i threw together for testing this (.bsp and .map), and a model that I am using for the bullet the tank fires.

I probably should have used a default model for the bullet, but if you don't like it change it.

To use this:
*download the map and extract the .bsp to your maps directory
*download the model (silverball) and extract it to your models folder
*download and install the plugin to your server.

In game:
*you can access the tanks by the ramps placed where they spawn
*you can drive them as you would a normal vehicle (default E)
*you can fire the cannon by pressing your reload key (default R)

I could not get it to hook IN_ATTACK properly while driving, and it seems you can only fire while moving forward... there are a few bugs, but hey, I did this in a few minutes so give me a break.

Again I am releasing this as is, feel free to do what ever you want with it. I am just trying to supply ideas :\

[xPaw]

Cool

fm_fakedamage -> fakedamage
fm_set_kvd -> DispatchKeyValue

PHP Code:

engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "info_target"))

// ->

create_entity( "info_target" ); 


Use
register_touch( "fake_bullet", "some_ent_you_want_to_hook", "func" );

Is there any way to spawn em with a command?

[sgtbane]

you wouldn't be able to spawn them in any map, but in a map that already has them, i suppose you could copy the entities required.

also there is a bug i noticed, but didn't mention in the description. Since the turret&barrel gets moved around into locations it should not normally be, it will disappear at times. if making a map, you need to be able to see the original spawning point of the two entities at all times for them to not disappear. If anyone knows of a way to force update an entities position, it would be appreciated since I've had troubles with this certain error in the past.

Isn't it possible to make them spawnable, in any map ?
