Usage:
   ObjectTemplate.HoldObject boolean

Argument values:

Description: Used by battleships, carriers, and destroyers. Determines whether the object spawned by an ObjectSpawner is 'held' to the root object or is detached/independent.

Examples:
Landing craft attached to ships.
Planes positioned on carrier runway.

Attachment position is determined by the ObjectSpawner position. Spawned object ceases to be attached once it moves under its own power. Spawned objects require an Engine to be attachable.

HoldObject can also work through a chain of non-Engine objects. For example:

PlayerControlObject -> Bundle (via AddArmorEffect) -> Spring -> Bundle -> ObjectSpawner

A held object will try to stay at the ObjectSpawner position at all times but will be released if the object chain to the root object is broken for some reason. Examples of object chain breakages that would release a held object:

Root PlayerControlObject is destroyed (e.g. the carrier sinks)
PCO's AddArmorEffect is overridden with another
