NOTE: There are some interesting behaviour about the specific owner digits like 0 -2 and 2:
1. Any mission objects (generated from SQM) initially have 0 owner state, but it is not local to ANYONE (0) like it is expected to be, but actually only to a SERVER (2). You can't make any object owner to be 0 once it was changed.
2. Trying to change ownership to any negative digit will always result in attempt to transfer ownership to SERVER (2). Once it is unit (non-agent) it will fail and revert* to initial ownership.
3. *Changing ownership of a unit (non-agent) actually gives a result for a brief time after this action is performed. What actually happens next - ownership is getting reverted with a message to RPT of a server. This can be seen by reading results of (owner _object) in really fast cycle. - Posted on February 12, 2019 - 01:15 (UTC)

- Prints RPT warning "setGroupOwner should be used" as soon as there is one unit inside the vehicle, but performs the action successfully.
