[TF2/MvM] Spawn a tank in TF2 like spawning a horsemann?

Is it possible?
Can you spawn a tank from MvM in TF2 like a horsemann or monocolus?
This is the first I'm hearing of this sorry. Post a link if you got one please?

For a tank to work properly, it'd need to be on a map with its path set up on the map file to actually go anywhere.
Though I don't see why you couldn't just force one to spawn on a of the path(s).

I modified the spawn horseman plugin to spawn a tank instead, The tank wont move unless playing on mvm maps.

The command to spawn it is sm_tank in console or !tank in chat

Also it seems to use the Monoculus's Healthbar.

Have fun.

What map did you test it on and did you have a customized Nav file for that map?

Also the Mono healthbar working for this is interesting seeing as how it broke for Mono's spawn.

You guys are great.. thanks. I'll give it a shot!

Tried it on a custom map, and it crashed the server. I don't know if it's because there wasnt enuff room or what..

i tested it on koth_mineland_v8 with a nav file generated with nav_generate so it wasnt a custom nav file so it was kinda expected it wouldnt move.

I'm going to check out the nav for the MvM maps later and see how they are setup cause I know the bots are taking certain paths and the tank takes a certain path on each. I'll report back perhaps we can refine this based on the nav's.

Tanks use path_tracks.
