    What is it?
    It's the cannon ball we all know and love, but without the cannon. Instead, it has a coupler node that allows it to be picked up by either the D-Series or the T-Series tow truck, or any other vehicle that can pick up coupler nodes with the "tow_hook" tag. If driven correctly, the tow truck can throw this cannon ball like a bowling ball!

    It pairs well with the Bowling Pins.

    Awesome! How do I use it?
    1. Download either the D-Series tow truck or the T-Series tow truck, or both :).
    2. Download the Bowling Ball (this mod).
    3. Spawn a tow truck.
    4. Spawn a bowling ball.
    5. Adjust the bowling ball weight as desired via the Tuning menu.
    6. Pick up the bowling ball with the tow truck hook.
    7. Drive the tow truck really fast at a target.
    8. Find the right angle, rip the parking brake to start sliding sideways, and release the bowling ball.
    9. Hopefully the ball hits the target.
    10. Practice, practice, practice, because throwing this ball isn't easy.
    Known issues:
    • v0.1: Because of how the tow truck and bowling ball "combine" when they connect, the camera position follows both the tow truck and bowling ball. This has been fixed in v0.2. UPDATE: The better way to address the bowling ball camera issue is to turn off camera adjustment when vehicles couple together. There's a checkbox that controls this in Camera Settings. The external camera has been restored in v0.3.

      Turn on traffic in West Coast USA, then roll it downhill in the city. :)
