However, there is a space mission in The Dark Times mod (can't remember which) where there are "flyers" that take off from a friendly hanger and land in an opposing hanger. The problem with this method is that they are not actual AI, but simply a model scripted to travel from point A to point B along a predefined path.

Also, it would not hurt to read up on the BF2 Limitations

To be honest, it'd probably work fine, I see no reason why it wouldn't - of course you'd have to try it out for yourself and see.

EnableFlyerPath("your path name right after entitypath",1)

For what it's worth, your ExitVehicle command won't work when you get to that (it needs to reference the player entity and not the vehicle), but your bigger issue right away is not seeing your vehicle in the region.

Say the vehicle is like a droid gunship, with a lot of seats for people. How would I make it so the code expels all of the AI in the ship? Because otherwise right now just the pilot and maybe 1-2 other AI are getting out, but the rest stay and the ship takes off then crashes
