Could someone mainly DeeZel (That spelled right? > ) test making the paradrop plane a Carryall (Carryall=yes) and put tank code names in the person entries for paradropping and start game and test it out. Thanks
If it works for whom tests it could you tell me?

WARNING++++++++++may cause game to crash test at own risk

[Perfect_Golden]

nice idea how about for tank commander only as a special to help their tanks instead of for aircraft cus they dont use tanks that much

[DCoder]

The tanks dropped had all their properties intact (Locomotor, weapon, sounds, speeds, etc...), except for the image. I think the image has to be SHP for this to work.

[DeeZeL]

yup thats true, you cant make a caryall plane that paradrops tanks.

[genobreaker]

you can use my code to paradrop tanks

Tanks dropped by Carryalls are always slightly...errm..."underground"...

[jop7821]

did anybody really test this?

[jop7821]

oops

[Psycho]

here is my idea to do para-tanks which was never done or tested by me.

1) do a one frame shp of a specific tank ,eg. mirage tank (by taking one facing screenshot) and make it as infantry
2) now give it deploy ability and deploytofire ability (like ts juggernaut code) and ability to attack anything, even u (attackfreindlies etc.) and guardrange=128
3) give it a weapon (fake, never used) which has sight=-2
4) now give it deploysinto= a dummy invisible 1x1 based structure, eg. PARADUMY
5) the structure will have freeunit= that specific vehicle, eg. MGTK

well now what will happen, the shp tanks (really infantry) will b dropped and when they touch ground they will instantly deploy into PARADUMY which will spawn real voxel tanks. to make the PARADUMY structure to b automatically destroyed, add an active anim for it (in artmd.ini) and give the anim high damage.

[ComradeJ]

Infantry can't deploy into structures AFAIK. Sorry.
