Description

Description:

Sets the name of the variable which contains a reference to this object. It is necessary in MP to change the variable content after a respawn. When you only use 'myVar = <vehicle>', you'll just have a normal variable, when you use this command as well, 'myVar' will be the name for the vehicle, i.e. if you have other variables containing the vehicle, they'll now return 'myVar' and not WEST ... Note: This command does not set 'myVar' to contain the vehicle, this has to be done separately.
