AT-AT wouldn't be able to be a CP I don't think.
I could do a fairly easy workaround, same way as my spawn beacon works.

Spawn beacon, a dispensable beacon that allows units to spawn from it. Just guessing.

So it's basically a deployable CP?

No it isn't. It's impossible to deploy a CP because you can't deploy regions or paths.

The trigger mine's damage scale would be set to almost 0 for vehicles, infantry, etc, but then it would have massive damage against mines.
Just a quick idea.
Someone made a mod for BF1 that had detpacks, multiple detpacks too. How it worked is once they were all set, you press Reload and they all blow up.
Might work for BF2 as well.
Do you know where I can get the source for this weapon?

I think I saw something about it on PhsycoFred's site. In any case, as I recall, there was a thread in the modding forum about this a while back - you could probably find all you need to set it up there.
EDIT -

I'll release it after the beta release of a map of a project of mine, and in any case I have to make a decent-looking model for it.

Ah, yes. I can't believe I didn't think of that.

I'm sorry, I don't have BF1 anymore and I forgot the name of the mod...Just saying, it's possible for it to work.

I invite you to play Kagero: Deception 2, Deceptio 3: Dark Delusion, or Kagero 2: Dark Illusion and get some inspiration about unusual weapons...

Ysalimari Cage:
model = a cage with a ysalimari (spelling?) lizard in it
function = and while you stand within a certain radius of it, your stamina drains (faster than slower)
could be placed in ZE or by a weapon dispenser maybe
destructable
Can a med/ammo droid be adapted to affect energy and have a negative value?

No.
In order to do that you would have to change the unit's ODF; that is where energy is defined. And that changes
all units with that ODF. So, basically, impossible.

Would it be possible to make a deployable ammo or medical droid? That would be pretty cool to see.

If he means health, than you forget Nueropoison. If he means stamina, that I dunno.
