Bug Description

Moving its Team to Hijacked vehicle is disgussable but they should join its team back when their hijacked vehicle is destroyed. Maybe there should be a tag to choosing do hijackers move their team to hijacked vehicle, but rejoining the team back should be their default behavior.

With team do you mean the AI team which is executing a Script, or the selection group players can put units into for quick access?

Selection groups. Didn't checked if the script teams has similar problem. Hijackers are losing almost everything by hijacking and leaving a vehicle.

That is because they *are* lost. The game destroys the infantry unit and only keeps a single number (the index of the InfantryType that hijacked). When the hijacker emerges again, a new infantry of the same type is created.

If you mean the group the tank was in before it ws destroyed, that should be easily doable. If you mean the group the Hijacker was in before it entered the tank, this could be problematic.

I meant the group that hijacker had.

There are many more things that get lost during this process, and group isn't that important to specifically capture it when the hijacker enters, maintain it manually while it is driving the tank and restoring it when leaving. Opposed to that, transferring the tank's group is one line of code. But then the question could be asked why AEs and maybe some more settings aren't transferred either.
