-- You can't set a vehicle directly as a global net-syncronized variable, but you can set it's unique Id
local veh_id = somevehicle.getUniqueId() -- get unique id of the vehicle (net synched)
global.set(veh_id, "target_vehicle") -- set the id as global var
-- Then another script or another client can do
local veh_id = global.get("target_vehicle") -- retrieve the id of the vehicle
local findsomeveh = er2.findVehicle(veh_id) -- acquire the vehicle by it's Id
-- Note: you can do the same with soldiers with soldier.getUniqueId() and er2.findSoldier()
