Not sure if it works but try the lock command. Like so:

Code: [Select]
nameofvehicle lock true

Where "nameofvehicle" obviously means the name of some vehicle from which you'd like to disable disembarking.

Note: this also locks the vehicle "from the outside", so don't lock it until they're all inside.

What do you mean... When they come under fire? Can you provide a little more info so we know what's going on and can help you accordingly?

OK i've got a few jeeps + mguns and when they come under fire, rather than keep going, they often just jump out and go on foot... and as far as I know the jeep doesn't have to be damaged or stuck

Do you want them to use the Jeep's machine gun or just want them to ignore the enemy? If you wish them to ignore the enemy then try setting their behaviour to "careless" (although this is not foolproof). If you wish to keep them in the jeep and engage the enemy, then the only command that looks like it would work is the lock command, which apparenntly doesn't. :hmm:

They jump out and proceed on foot when the jeep is damaged. The jeep can only take a tiny amount of dammage before it's disabled. A few shots from almost any gun will render it undriveable.

To help it, you could use a repeating trigger with the condition-

getdammage jeepname > 0.1 && canmove jeepname

on activation-
jeepname setdammage 0

This will help protect it from small arms fire, but anything big is gonna smash it.
