I have found that whit the recent addition of setTowParent it generally doesn't really work that well.
What i mean by that is that you need a vehicle just as big in order to tow it.
And you need a run up in order to get it to move.
And then when you get it to move the speed is limited or has jerky reaction.
I find it weird i can't move a panther with a hemtt. When no brakes are engaged because of setTowParent command.
ropeCreate [towingvehicle , [0,-5,-1], towedvehicle , [0,3,-1], 5, ["RopeEnd", [0,0,-1]], ["RopeEnd", [0,0,-1]]];
towedvehicle setTowParent towingvehicle;
Make towedvehicle a panther and make towingvehicle the hemtt.
I see the panther threads moving but the vehicle doesn't move.
To add to this. When i try and pull a rhino with a hemtt. I get like 7 to 8 km/h. But when i use the disable break command and just push it. I get it to 17 or 18 km/h.
Perhaps a work around could be for example a new "setTowParentStrong" command.
towedvehicle setTowParentStrong towingvehicle;
It works by reducing the towedvehicle mass (and perhaps disabling collisions etc), also dismounting all units inside it and locking it.
The side effect is that no player/unit can be inside the vehicle being towed but should work much better.
