Ai refuses to stay in tank after respawn

[ZuluNineFiveActual 10]

I am trying to make a multiplayer mission where armoured units fight each other. 6 Leopards vs 8 T90s. I have managed to get units to spawn inside the tanks, using !alive triggers co-coordinating with spawn delay. There have been no problems with BLUFOR at all, but for OPFOR, the units refuses to stay in the tank. I have made it such that when 6 T90s get into a trigger called "capture_west", OPFOR will win, so obviously i set it such that they "move (getmarkerpos "capture_west")". However, after getting killed by a leopard and respawn, they love to leave the T90 and advance on foot! This never happens if I tk them though. I just can't figure out where i went wrong.

edit: I have realised that the ai crew don't spawn into the tank for some weird reason, resulting in the commander exiting the tank. This doesn't happen for players, only for AI on the opfor team.

not sure how you are respawning your tanks but if you use "BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle" command it spawns vehicle and crew inside already. i would'nt think they would hop out if they are spawned like this but no guarantee.

I didn't know of this command, so therefore I'm not very sure how I'm going to use it with players. This map is intended for all players, but I was testing out how the AI fare in place of the players and realized it was full of bugs. I have managed to solve the problem. I extended the players spawn to 14 seconds, while the trigger to activate a script to go off at 13 seconds. In the script i placed "sleep 2;" as the first line, therefore moving all the (invincible ai crew) and player commander into the tank. So basically this map is only playable as tank commander. If the person and his crew deserts his tank, it explodes after awhile, which is linked to the player, also killing him. This ensures that no matter what the player will get into a tank. Right now I am considering if I should make the tank explode if the player dies outside of his tank.
