There are two ways of adding vehicles to maps. Sometimes we want vehicles to always be present during a game, while sometimes we want them to activate once an objective is completed or a spawn is captured. In our GDF base we want the vehicles always spawning, for the duration of the match.

Types of vehicles

To add one, use the entity structure_model_construction_<vehiclename>.

• structure_module_construction_anansi - Anansi
• structure_module_construction_badger - Armadillo
• structure_module_construction_bumblebee - Bumblebee
• structure_module_construction_desecrator - Desecrator
• structure_module_construction_goliath - Goliath
• structure_module_construction_hog - Hog
• structure_module_construction_hornet - Tormentor
• structure_module_construction_husky - Husky
• structure_module_construction_icarus - Icarus
• structure_module_construction_mcp - MCP
• structure_module_construction_platypus - Platypus
• structure_module_construction_titan - Titan
• structure_module_construction_trojan - Trojan

GDF base vehicles

For our GDF lets add the following vehicles;

• 1x structure_module_construction_titan
• 1x structure_module_construction_badger (Armadillo)
• 1x structure_module_construction_trojan
• 2x structure_module_construction_husky

Entity keys

Adding the key pair start_active1 will ensure they spawn at map start. In a release map your vehicles should be arranged so that they aren't obstructed by other vehicles. They should also face towards one of the exits.
