I'm afraid it is impossible in all currently released version of GTA. The physics of the game engine does not allow a static object to have it's centre of gravity's attraction shifted to a different object. The only possible way is to place a col at the rear to prevent cars falling off, but this will result in damaging the car. Your best bet is to just wait for GTA4, which has a totally rebuilt engine, and thus lots more features.

well... i agree with STM here, its pretty much impossible to do so. Although i have noticed in san andreas that you can drive cars onto the car transporters and they sometimes stick on it, so maybe theres something worth checking? I very much doubt the possibility of it though, the game just doesnt like doing things like that.

Guess what ladies, its possible in SA

 

it has something to do with the new(er) collision format (i think its a new mateiral in the col files, that lets objets "stick" together) and i know for a fact in mission scripting, you can can attach one vehicle to another.

 

Problem is, the tools that will makes these files compatible for SA, arent done/released yet. but it will be possible.

Well there are vehicles in SA that appear to be able to do that now, ie tow trucks, tractors, and semis. I have even gotten cars and bikes to stay on the SA packer pretty good. And also while we're on it. Do you guys remember the mission where you load the packer up with bikes. something happens in the cutscene that makes them stay and I do believe that they are still useable bikes when you do that. Something to look into maybe?

 

Yeah, I guess I was a little late with my reply. Oh, well.
