MotS MP will reset your player model back to the one you have for your character every few seconds or so. There is no way to turn it off. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

Why dont you use something like this:

Code: 
symbols
message activated
message pulse

thing player local

model bus2=bus2.3do
end

code

activated:
    setthingmodel(player, bus2);
    SetPulse(0.01);
return;

pulse:
    setthingmodel(player, bus2);
return;
end


Or have I missed the plot?

You could run a pulse checking if the player model isn't the bus2 model, then switch it, but you'd still notice the models changing.

Your best bet would be setting the geo mode of the player to 0 (hide the player) and then create the bus and forward the actions of the player using playeraction.

err HR I doubt you'll notice the model change... its like setting the camera to 1st person cam on a fast pulse, the player doesnt notice the change when he flicks to 3rd person.

message      pulse                                                            

thing        player                             local                         

model        bus2=bus2.3do                                                    
end                                                                           

code

activated:
    setthingmodel(player, bus2);
    SetPulse(0.01);
return;

pulse:
    If(GetThingModel(player) == bus2) return;
    setthingmodel(player, bus2);
return;
end
