Ahh this problem...

There is a reason (I think). When you swap characters AI will take control of your squad leader. He will reset your teams, often tell your units to open fire and disembark/embark vehicles, etc. Pretty much anything to screw up your careful planning and at the worst possible time.

I suspect this can be averted by using the 'disableAI' scripting command. Though I never played with it to see if that will work. Hopefully somebody out there can shed some light on that?

I can't think of a reason for wanting AI to control your squad leader other than defending himself. So I'll definitely have to upvote this.

thanks, there is a big silent discussion about if its right or wrong to let AI take controll of the soldiers you are not controlling at the moment
