Description

Description:

Returns the effective commander of the vehicle. Effective commander is the player whom driver AI will listen to. So if in a tank there is a gunner and a commander and AI driver, if the effectiveCommander is gunner, then gunner pressing W A S D will give AI orders to move. If gunner jumps out and then enters a tank again, the effectiveCommander role most likely has changed to commander that remained in tank. Also the assignment seems to work on first come first served basis.
