Description:: Allows towedVehicle to be towed by towingVehicle. This loosens the vehicle brakes of the towedVehicle and turned its steering wheels toward the towingVehicle. Supposed to be used together with a rope connecting both vehicles.
Multiplayer:: ⚠
If a player enters the towingVehicle the towedVehicle will try to change locality to be local to the player.
This might be problematic if there is a player already in the towedVehicle.
It is recommended to not have anyone in the towedVehicle!
Groups:: Object Manipulation Ropes and Sling Loading

Syntax:: towedVehicle setTowParent towingVehicle
Parameters:: towedVehicle: Object - Vehicle of type CarX (No tanks, no aircrafts, no boats)
: towingVehicle: Object - Vehicle of type CarX or TankX (No aircrafts, no boats)
Return Value:: Nothing

Example 1:: { moveOut _x } forEach crew _towedVehicle; // make sure nobody is in the towed vehicle _towedVehicle lock true; ropeCreate [_bobcat, [0,-5,0], _towedVehicle, [0,2,0]]; _towedVehicle setTowParent _bobcat;
