Func tankapcrocket

Template:Hl2 brush It functions as an APC rocket turret. When fired the rockets (apc_missile) will fly upward and away from the entity regardless of the direction the entity is pointed in, therefore node graphs are required to make the projectiles function properly.

Bug:The brush seems to render itself invisible and non-solid for some reason. It can still be used by the player despite this.  [todo tested in ?]

Note:This entity is not regularly used by prop_vehicle_apc to fire rockets. See npc_apcdriver.
