Regarding naming or renaming objects, there's a new ArmA command called setVehicleVarName (http://www.ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=list&game=All&letter=s#setVehicleVarName) which to me seems like what you need. I haven't however tried it, and I don't know if you like, have to compile (to remove the string) it or somesuch to be able to properly use it in commands like: vehicleVarName setPos (getpos nimporte_quoi)

But do try!  :scratch:
