It is also possible to find the commander of a vehicle by placing a '''C''' after the name of the vehicle so ''Tank1C'' and '''''commander''' Tank1'' both refer to the same unit, providing the original commander has not got out of the tank.
The difference between the two is ''Tank1C'' is always the unit that was commander of the tank when the mission started, whilst '''''commander''' Tank1'' is the commander which is now there.

<dd class="note">'''''WARNING''' about Hardrock note:''
Take very care about this : if you give a vehicleVarName to one crew, so his referent will not be Tank1x anymore ! Also, if in the mission editor, you put something in the name field, when this soldier will getin a vehicle, it will not be a Tank1x too. So do not take consideration about Hardrock note, if you don't want to have bad surprise. It Is better to force names by using [[setVehicleVarName]] command.
