Battlefield Recovery Vehicle

I was thinking of adding this to my Personnel Vehicles pack in a future release.

Basically the idea is to have a vehicle that randomly traverses the ONS_map, stopping from time to time, probably near nodes, by touching the vehicle the players can be healed up to 100 health, and 100 armor(maybe the admin should be able to set this). I've noticed the Unreal designers haven't been exactly generous with health in most of the ONS maps, and why I can quite see why they did this, maybe they went a little over the top.

This Vehicle helps to balance out that issue by providing unreliable healing as it travels about the map, maybe you would want 2 or 3 in Red Planet.:)


I wanted some way for players to know if the vehicle was near, unfortunately I have no Idea how to add objects to the radar/map, or if it is even possible. To get around this I thought the vehicle could have a really recognizably, penetrating sound, like the Goliath engine, I always know where that puppy is when one is near me. So if I can find something like the goliath engine, that you can hear miles away, and is easily locatable, we are onto a winner!

Anyway I've roughed out a quick concept of how I think this vehicle would look, following the UT2k4 vehicle style. This is ta concept so there is only a right side of the vehicle at the moment, once I've mirrored the mesh, and sorted out the mirrored text, you'll be able to see a more complete version.

It should play "Pop Goes the Weasel" really loud.

Maybe when players get close to it, it could 'throw' random health pickups? Or possibly custom pickups (ice cream cones, Flak Pops, Gummy Goo Guns, whatever).

But yeah, that looks really cool.

An ambulance might fit this idea better but for a sense of humor I would stick with the ice cream truck.

Honk the horn (or it could have a siren/tune that toggles or stays on when you press the horn button)

Recently someone made a mod for the radar where it showed vehicle icons where the vehicles are. You could basically make a mutator that modified the radar. It may have incompatibility problems with that other mod that modifies the radar though...

Just look at the code to see how those goliath sounds are played and the sound effect probably has extra bass that was added in a sound editing program.

Unfortunately I can't see the picture but I hope you made the text as a textures rather than using polygons.
