Ok. I created an Sp map, Death Intrusion pb3, and sent it to Tuaha for testing. He said it was epic, and the epic thing was that the marines got onto spectres. The spectres were supposed to be driven by the enemy Coveanant, and attack the player and his Marines.

I thought he was lying at first, as I did not give the marines a command list. However, I tested a map, and the Marines actually did get on the Spectre without a command list!

That's weird. Didn't use vehicle_load_magic either.....

Just for the fun of it:

Done

Did the marines get on after you got in the driver's seat of it? If so, that's normal. Check the .actor tag of marines. One of the flags checked is "gets into vehicles with player".

Edit: At least, in your screenshot you are driving the spectre, so that's why I'm assuming you got on first. If not, then in the campaign, marines would get into ghosts whenever they were near them.

Although that might have been scripted, I think marines have the ability to get into driver's seats of vehicles by their own discretion, as long as they have full animations for the seat and the vehicle is set up correctly for AI driving, which the ghost is.

Marines usually get into whatever they can, because of something in their actor varient. In the original b40, they can be seen getting into ghosts.

Edit: Beat me to it

i ditch the warthog and get the tank when im outside and imagine if a marine managed to get into a warthog..( and the warthog would have to be driver enabled) and drove towards the wraith in the next part and the wraith shot the warthog but because the marine is dumb he tries to run over the wraith and when the wraith shoots the marine the wraith accidently shoots itself. smart yet dumb.
