Just keep in mind, that only one player can CONTROL the vehicle, but you can mount many "passengers" to the vehicle, just create the mounts as Adam recommended. I believe there is (??) an article on TDN about that or some forum thread. Use the search, it could help.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. The original question was about what was possible, and in fact it is possible to have multiple players in control of a vehicle (although it would be unusual).

Hmm.. then it means that I misunderstood the vehicle control code in engine :)

By 'possible' I think he means you would have to code it, as almost anything is possible in TGE if you can code it. :D

I want to have a player riding a vehicle, but still able to shoot and mouselook independently. Think of a chariot kind of control scheme. I thought I'd just feed the player control to both of them and filter it--so the vehicle'd get speed up/slow down/turn commands, and the player'd get mouselook and shoot--but it looks like it does enforce a one-to-one mapping of clients to controlobjects. (do I have my terminology right?)
The whole Move situation is slightly scary to me, the way they're packed and queued, and I'm reluctant to jump in and break things. Particularly since I want to go multiplayer at some point, but can't actually test it yet.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
