Easily Done. Or at least in theory.

Global Settings ~ Purchase Settings ~ Vehicles(GDI) Etc

Mod the purchase preset to the weapon powerup.
Might crash, might work like a charm. Try to find out.

EDIT: Ok tested it and it spawns the weapon at 0,0,0 I dont think there is any other way.

build tank, get owner, grant powerup to owner, blow tank up...

i'm stuck on the 'get owner' part... i already scripted the grant powerup and blowup tank bits...

edit: also, if you make the tanks unteamed, there will be no delay in building

in ssaow 1.3.4

under

void M00_GrantPowerup_Created::Created(GameObject *obj) {

there is a

		if (Settings_ShowPlayerPurchase) {
			char PurchaseMsg[512];
			sprintf(PurchaseMsg,"%s purchased a %s",Get_Player_Name(obj),Translate_Preset(IsPlayerVehicle(obj)));
			FDSMessage(PurchaseMsg,"_PURCHASE");
		}

based on that in that function make something like

if (Translate_Preset(IsPlayerVehicle(obj)) == "Nod Flame Tank") 
{
  kill tank
  grant flame thrower
}
else if (Translate_Preset(IsPlayerVehicle(obj)) == "GDI Medium Tank")
{
  kill tank
  grant rocket
}

you will find the tank names in the server2.ini

Because that script is attached to players and has nothing to do with vehicles.

i got a working method

1) needs variable on the last GDI and NOD who bought tanks
1.1) Declarde 2 gameobjects (global)
2) attach script to player monitering credits
2.1) if credits go down and it's not because of buying a beacon, then the player is the latest to buy a tank
2.2) set that players object to global last gameobject
3) when a tank gets created, make it look at the last gameobject (depending on nod or gdi)
3.1) grant powerup to player
3.2) destroy tank

- your done.
