Comment 1 for bug 894872

Would propably not work for deployers or transports, because the command most likely to cause "Unmerge" would be "deploy". Considering this request, you could build a vehicle that could "unmerge" into an empty transport and some infantrymen, for example. And since it will most likely use the "Deploy" command, I would suggest a modified passenger code for this proposal rather than the Visceroid's stuff, because it has a broader variety of uses. Some of the code might be taken from a mix of Ammo, transform and taskforce code, for example:

[TANK]
Passengers=6
PipScale=Passengers
InitPassengerType=COMMANDER,DRIVER,GUNNER,LOADER,TONK
InitPassengerNum=1,1,2,1,1
UnloadingClass=TONK ; Unloading class defines the object spawned from "unmerging" which will retain various effects obtained by the "pre-unmerge" unit, for example damage taken by the tank, or being parasited.

Then, there must be some piece of code to re-transform the TONK into a TANK with the right crew. I'd say some serious extension of the IFV code could do that, or?

[TONK]

Passengers=5
TransformLoad1Type=COMMANDER,GUNNER,DRIVER,LOADER
TransformLoad1Num=1,2,1,1

; if the infantry / vehicles / whatever specified in LoadType are passengers of the vehicle in the numbers specified in LoadNum, then, a transformation kicks in:

TransformMode1=TANK

But IMO anyway, the game seriously needs more triggers. "Deploy" is so overloaded with various commands it can possibly trigger.
