SeatObject Type

The SeatObject object type is created by ObjectTemplate.Create.

While inside a vehicle, your character's model is effectively removed from the game, not placed inside the vehicle. If you want to see a soldier inside the vehicle when a player enters it, you need to set up a seat. This object also allows the soldier in the vehicle can be harmed directly by projectiles (vs. dying only when the vehicle itself blows up, e.g. when driving a tank). When a seat is added to a PlayerControlObject, it will show the body of the soldier. The seat has properties to set the animation or skin pose to use when in the seat.
