Making the command vehicle a spawn point

I'm trying to make the command vehicle a spawn point, similar to an APC but instead of spawning in the CV, the players spawn around it. The spawn point should move with the CV if the CV moves.

Any ideas on how this could be done?

 

Parent a Info_Player_IMP/NF on to it which is tied to a flag which is placed outside of the playable map?

 

I parented an info_player_imp to the CV, but it doesn't move with the CV.

 

Strange.

 

tie it to the cv with a constraint

i did this before and it works, make sure at no point the spawn can me moved inside a wall so preferrably make people spawn ON TOP OF the cv to prevent a very easy "get under the map/inside architecture" exploit

move the flag off site or make it non-captureable if you want to prevent the spawn to be disableable

 

Which constraint should I be using? I tried phys_constraint, but then the CV couldn't move at all (or maybe I'm doing it wrong).

 

dont constraint to the world, il check if i still have the vmf where i did it

 

You could also tie a big physbox to the CV to sort of contain the spawns.

 

this is easy
make a small brush with a nodraw texture and parent it to the CV
then parent the info_player to that small brush instead of parenting it to the CV

 

in b4 stuck and weird driving behaviour (try to get between 2 trees?

 

Then you can't?

Shouldn't be that hard to remember you're driving a fat brick of a CV.

Besides you could quite easily make the bolted on bits big enough to see from the driver seat.

 

I'm aware this isn't a suggestion, but a how to thread, but I'm just gonna point at part of my signature.
