In the name field of the boat type a name say Boat1. (It should be an empty boat)

Do not name any unit player. Player is always soldier controled by gamer. In multiplayer player returns different names for each computer.
You can name player's soldier for example soldier and then you can use both examples equivalently:

You can actually name a unit player? I thought you would get an error message because player is already used bu the game...what if you name a unit other than the player "player", then you do: something setpos getpos player???

Well, you can name it player. If some unit is named player then game moves with that named unit.

I just tried it, and you´re right.
Hehe, that is so stupid
You can actually name units East and West and stuff, I bet that could cause some troubble.
I remember when I was making a script to keep track of the score it wouldnt let me use WestScore and EastScore because they are already used so I hade to use WestZcore and EastZcore....or something like that. I think thats the way it should be, if the game is already using the name then you shouldnt be able to make them something else.
