Robotnik dug out his old "Mega-Badnik 2142" blueprints and repurposed them into battle vehicles! They'll spawn naturally on most vanilla SRB2 maps, but you can always type spawnvehicle to give yourself a new ride in co-op mode. Press Custom 1/2/3 to exit a vehicle.
THE VEHICLES:
NOTES:
If your vehicle's health goes below 10, alarms will sound and the vehicle will start losing its last few health points. Get out before it hits zero or you'll die instantly!
Spin-dash into an enemy vehicle to damage it. The slower you're going, the more damage you'll put out.
Rail rings do 10 damage, but very little knockback.
Shield monitors heal the vehicle by 50%, up to 150% (except motorcycles). Entering a vehicle while wearing a shield will have the same effect, removing your shield in exchange for health.
Invulnerability monitors will give the vehicle 75% damage resistance.
Chaos Emeralds can enter vehicles, but Super players cannot.
In Tag, players who are IT will deal 4x damage to enemy vehicles, unless the vehicle is overhealed.
In team-based games, shooting a teammate's vehicle does reduced damage and no knockback.
In CTF, carrying the flag hinders your vehicle's movement and disables most abilities.
Killing a player in a vehicle earns you 100 points. Assisting in a vehicle kill earns 25 points, and healing someone who gets a kill earns 50 points.
The following CTF maps don't feature vehicle spawners (yet):
CONSOLE
Commands:
howdoidrive <type>: cecho a vehicle's basic controls, the same as when you first enter a vehicle. If you're in a vehicle and <type> is unspecified, that vehicle's controls will be shown.
spawnvehicle <type>: give yourself a vehicle in co-op. Admins can use it in any game mode.
killvehicle: lower your vehicle's health to 5, causing it to self-destruct in 5 seconds. Jump out quickly, or you may as well have typed "suicide"!
vehiclefps: toggle the first-person weapon graphics. Useful if they block the screen or just look ugly.
Admin commands:
placevehiclespawner <type> <infinite?>: create a vehicle spawn point. If <type> is "?" or "random", it will spawn a different vehicle each time. If <infinite> is "I", the spawner will keep spawning vehicles once the old ones are moved away. Only lasts to the end of the map.
removevehiclespawners: remove all vehicle spawn points from the map, including automatically-placed spawners.
Variables:
destroyvehicletime: how long a vehicle can be left idle before self-destructing (default is 60 seconds).
respawnvehicletime: how long a vehicle spawner will wait before spawning a new vehicle (default is 20 seconds).
vehiclescale: size of vehicles, out of 100. Ranges from 10% to 1000%. (Marks cheats on the server)
CHANGELOG
Current: v1.0.0 (About damn time)
Added the Vehicle Yard beta map.
Reduced the Tank's health: 150>120.
Reduced the Knight's health: 120>100.
The Knight is now immune to knockback, and its attack will no longer be interrupted when shot at.
Increased the Jet's health regen rate.
Increased the damage the Helicopter takes underwater, to match that of the Jet.
Fixed the Helicopter getting stuck at 1 health when its alarm sounds while unoccupied (probably).
The Knight can now spawn from the random spawner.
Metal Sonic can no longer use vehicles (sorry, I tried).
Restricted random spawners (only land vehicles etc.) have been implemented, but are currently unused.

KNIGHT TURRET
MAX HP: 120
CONTROLS:
Move/Strafe: drive the tank
Turn/Look: move the turret
Jump: jump and hover
Fire: fire a huge bomb ring (20 dmg) from the main cannon. Powerful enough to stun and spike other vehicles, break Knuckles blocks, and launch the tank backward a bit.

Spin: hold while firing to make your shots arc instead of flying straight
ATTRIBUTES:
Break blocks and push other players by running into them
Going underwater will cause damage; entering slime will shut down the tank
Speed Shoes: faster ground and air movement, stronger hover
TIPS:
Use the recoil from the cannon to boost the height of your jump and maneuver in the air.
Hovering off a spring can take you great distances, but leaves you open to attack.

At low health, suicide-bomb by crashing while boosting
Speed Shoes: reduce boost power needed for moves
TIPS:
Use your speed and agility to avoid enemy fire, but watch out for obstacles too -- they can hurt you just as much as bullets.
Braking and shooting lets you aim better, but uses more boost power than normal.

Regenerate health quickly while standing still
Speed Shoes: reload the scatter gun faster

Jump: float (hop around on land)

Can enter and sink into slime
Speed Shoes: move faster
TIPS:
Grey rings are great for open water, bombs work best on shorebound targets, and stickies do heavy damage to anything up close.
If you're stuck on land, try to stay at medium range from enemies and force them to retreat. Abandon ship if someone gets too close -- try to trick them into getting inside!

TIPS:
If you're near the ground, never stop moving. A single shot from a tank or motorcycle could ruin your assault.
Keep track of high points in the map -- those are the safest places to refuel.

KNOWN ISSUES
- Exiting a vehicle puts "Toggled Chasecam" messages in the console.
- Armageddon shield blasts destroy vehicles in one hit.
- If a vehicle touches a Jet Jaw, the game will crash. As such, Jet Jaws have been removed entirely from maps.
- A rare crash has been reported involving switching away from a lava map.
- The tank turret and motorcycle helmet are occasionally visible in first-person, e.g. when running into a wall.
THINGS THAT AREN'T ISSUES OR OTHERWISE ARE DONE ON PURPOSE
- NiGHTS sparkles vanish quickly, to avoid framerate drops caused by spamming bombs. This doesn't affect NiGHTS paralooping.
- Hide-and-seek is not supported, due to the nature of the game mode.
