Character won't mount at mount0 in my vehicle.

I am using the simple car script that comes with the starter.racing folder in TGE 1.5.2


In my player.cs, I am using the default method of mounting a vehicle:

function Armor::onCollision(%this,%obj,%col)
{
   ....................

   // Mount vehicles
   %this = %col.getDataBlock();
   if ((%this.className $= WheeledVehicleData) && %obj.mountVehicle &&
         %obj.getState() $= "Move" && %col.mountable) {

      // Only mount drivers for now.
      %node = 0;
      %col.mountObject(%obj,%node);
      %obj.mVehicle = %col;
   }
}

My car, (a very slightly modified version of the Torque buggy) has a mount0 node that is parented directly to start01 in 3ds Max 9.


My character mounts the car fine, and drives ok, but he will NOT mount at mount 0 !!!! I have mount0 toward the back of the car and he insists upon mounting smack in the middle of the car.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
