Is there a way to make my map start off with a pre-destroyed vehicle? In this case a Warthog? If not, that's fine, it's purely for aesthetic value.
Closest thing to a pre-destroyed vehicle would be to blow it up at the start of the map, which the easiest way would be to use Fusion Coils dropped from the sky. The problem is it will disappear...
I would reccomend placing an indestructable object (teleporter) on the upturned vehicle to make it immoble (and cannot be flipped.) You could just disable vehicles too...
In my traxus map I have a warthog that is crashed. (It explodes in the beginning of the match and doesn't respawn.)
If it do dissapear, don't know if it does, you could always set the same respawn time of the warthog and the fusion coil, so it explodes almost instantly again.
