Towable
Can Tow

Allows a vehicle to be towed by another. This loosens the towed vehicle's brakes and turns its steering wheels toward the towing vehicle.

Supposed to be used together with a rope connecting both vehicles.

If a player enters the towingVehicle the towedVehicle will try to change locality to be local to that player. This might be problematic if there is another player already in the towedVehicle. It is recommended to not have anyone in the towedVehicle!

Groups:
