I'm working with darkcommanderhq's map Just Another RPG and trying to setup the Disembark settings to work like, leave the vehicle and restore the saved Playerbank's "currentUnit" as the saved Marine. Or do I need to create a new Marine? Needing help getting the disembark to work and have Player 1 control over the unit. It's showing green as it's Player 1's unit, but I can't control it.

Here's the Enter Vehicle part

    Events
        Timer - Every 0.05 seconds of Game Time
    Local Variables
    Conditions
    Actions
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                Ghost Mode == true
                Marauder Mode == true
                Hellion Mode == true
                Viking Mode == true
                Siege Mode == true
                Thor Mode == true
            Then
                Bank - Save bank PlayerBank
                Bank - Store unit Marine [24.57, 37.25] as "currentUnit" of section "Player1" in bank PlayerBank
                Unit - Hide currentUnit
                Trigger - Turn 3rd Person Viking On
                Trigger - Turn (Current trigger) Off
            Else
        Unit Selection - Deselect all units for player 1
        Unit Selection - Select currentUnit for player 1

Starting Disembark code here.

    Actions
        Trigger - Turn 3rd Person Viking Off
        Trigger - Turn 3rd Person Pilot On
        Variable - Set Ghost Mode = false
        Variable - Set Marauder Mode = false
        Variable - Set Hellion Mode = false
        Variable - Set Viking Mode = false
        Variable - Set Siege Mode = false
        Variable - Set Thor Mode = false
        Unit - Move currentUnit instantly to (Position of mechUnit) (No Blend)
        Bank - Restore "currentUnit" of section "Player1" from bank PlayerBank for player 1 at (Position of mechUnit) facing 0.0
        Unit - Show currentUnit
        Unit Selection - Deselect all units for player 1
        Unit Selection - Select currentUnit for player 1
        Unit - Change ownership of mechUnit to player 14 and Change Color
        Variable - Set currentUnit = (Triggering unit)
        Trigger - Turn Enter MechRange On
        Variable - Set mechUnit = No Unit
        Trigger - Turn (Current trigger) Off

I've got the neutral (0) units porting into a region, and able to get the marine to go into it. Just the leaving vehicle part having trouble with and retaining Player 1 control over the Marine that comes out. Thanks for any help!

And credit for the terrain, and initial units for neutral to KaldariaQ (Ta Da).

I don't have a direct fix for your problem, but instead of using a bank to store the unit you can just use "Show / Hide Unit". It'll make the unit invulnerable, completely invisible, uncontrollable, disables collision etc etc.
So you don't need to restore anything but just unhide the unit and move it to the right position once you're done. I guess the bug is also caused by the restoration through a bank.
