Throwing Vehicles

[EchoRanger449]

I know this is a rather simple question, but I'd still like to know if it's possible to throw a vehicle without dying. This is a special case of the simple question because only this object can kill the player.

Method that kills:
1.) Get the meta tag for a scorpion/ghost/warthog/banshee
2.) Paste it over the frag grenade
3.) Play
4.) Throw grenade
5.) Die

Method that works: ?

Please test this idea out first, because I think just the fact that a warthog, for example, if it spawns from your hand, will kill you.

k the only thing u have to do is open the map of ur choice scroll down to damage and there r like around like 79 items (depends wht map) and its the 6'th one from the top (globals\vehicle_collision) click it and change the minimum damage to zero and the maximum damiage to zero and the minimum damage to zero and now u wont be killed by a vehicle when it lands on u.

However, that'll take away all vehicle hit damage, right? Well, thanks anyway

All the vehicles will kill you. Here's why, they are not projectiles and therefor and zero initial velocity. Then, the phys that affect them will bring them down at something resembling earth's acceleration. As soon as the collision model interacts with the collision model of your character, the jpt! for colliding with a vehicle is called. Result, death. To not have that happen you'd have to either:
a, figure out a way to have an initial velocity of the vehicle with it still acting like vehicle.
b, remove collision damage.
c, change the collision model (yours or its) so it won't hit you.
d, modify either your health or the vehicle damage so it isn't an instant kill

Hmm, the whole idea of spawning vehicles with a gun never made much sense, unless you just wanted to throw a shee at your opponent...lol
Alright thanks. At the very least it'll kill both people in a close-range battle (make the gun spawn a tank).

Well one thing that's fun to do is swap the mod2 of the projectile to be that of a vehicle, give it the vehicles collision model and the same jpt!. Then you can shoot "vehicles" at people, which then disappear afterwards and can never be driven.
