How would you make a dispenser that will spawn a vehicle. Like a Remote Charge, that if you detonate, will spawn an vehicle instead of exploding?

I wouldn't know that, but I (and someone else, it may have been milehighguy, I'm not sure) have made a remote-controlled soldier. Like the recon droid except like a regular unit. Try this: Take the remotedroid ODF and have it's _ord reference a vehicle ODF. Then add to the vehicle's ODF and see if it works!

I have posted an ODF for a vehicle dispenser some time ago, but i cant really search on my ipod, neither can i copy/paste(or can i?). You should find it if you check maybe the last 5 pages or so. I cant remember exactly but my solution was similar to the one Ty posted(or maybe the same).

i already have a remote vehicle that you trigger, an automated AAT with laser cannons. You release the droid, and it a appears in at your side, you can exit it, to go hide somewhere, switch back to controlling it, and than fight that way. it has less health than the standard aat, but is faster and has more agility.

I was talking about something like this.
-you drop a beacon, like that tiny little thing that shoots out of your character's hand when you drop an orbital strike
-you wait the same amount of time as you would for an orbital strike.
- then, instead of an orbital strike, a vehicle such as an AT-TE, or Speeder bike, spawns.

How would you do this?

Oooo. Interesting concept. I can't really help ya with that one...

I dont know for sure, maybe try and give the remote droid a dispenser weapon as second weapon? I dont remember how the remote droid ODF looks like, so trial and error is my best advice I can give you.

I have an idea. First, try taking either a mine dispenser or powerup dispenser ODF and change the _ord to your vehicle. If that works, try adding the dispenser weapon to the remote droid or time bomb.

it works!!!!

I used the odf of a time bomb.

-instead of firing a time bomb, you drop an AAT out of your hand (aat because i tested with the cis)
-for about 10 seconds, it acts as a mobile command base
-You can enter it, exit it, and let people enter and exit it.

Now to work on
I also intend on making a dispenser for sniper units, so they can have a portable speeder bike, light attack speeder, or stap to use as an escape vehicle. it'd function the same way. I call it, portable foldup speeder.

i'm going to also make vehicle dispensers for
AT-TE, AT-AT, Rebel Hovernaut, MTT
Imperial Shuttle
LAAT/i Gunship
probe droids for imperials
trifighter
Forward Command Center for republic
turrets (so it would be a deployable turret)

Only bug is that the vehicle shoots out of your character's hand. so it would look really awkward seeing a person fire his dispenser and see an AT-AT burst out of nowhere

The only problem I would see with this is that it might break under multiplayer. I'm fairly certain this would only work in SP (which is fine if that's what your mod/map is aimed at).

Why should it break in multiplayer? If everyone has the same version i see no reason for that.

it would work in multiplayer if someone, using this mod, set up a mp server for it and people with the mod joined. otherwise, no it wouldn't work.

EDIT
unless you're talking about a situation in which everyone spawned as a unit with the dispenser and dispensed Hovernauts all over. but somehow it's set up so that you can only have a maximum of 3 dispensed vehicles at one time.
