Ok I'll do the best I can here.

In the memory lod create points for driver, codriver and cargo. Name each of these respectively pos driver, pos codriver, and pos cargo. You can have more than one point for each of these, good for vehicles where passengers can board from more than one place.

Next place each of these points at the correct places around the model. I sometimes create a primitive (box) shape for the vehicle the exact size of the model. Ensure that the points are above ground level.

Hope that helps.

if a tank driver or commander goes to open hatch position its possible to kill them .my question is what makes this possible ?i have an open sided vehicle but if i shoot at the crew the rounds impact on the vehicle and i can only kill them by destroying the vehicle.is this to do with texturing or do i need to add something in one of the lods? any help would be appreciated thanks

I don't really understand what you're saying, but you could start by adding a detailed Fire Geometry LOD.

in my Fire Geometry Lod ive copied the model and found the components. the crew should be vunerable to fire from the side as there is nothing there,like an open top jeep,but the only way you can kill the crew is to destroy the vehicle.Its probably something simple im missing .

If i shoot the driver in the head from point blank it makes a sound like its impacting with the vehicle and the driver remains unhurt .

The thing you are missing is that in the <Fire Geometry LOD> there should be no faces where the windows are. Select the faces and press <d>. This makes the bullet able to reach the soldier-proxy inside the vehicle.
