Invisible Driver Help!

Question: How can I make myself invisible when entering a vehicle, Warthog, Ghost etc. but become visible again when I get out.??
I've seen it in other maps and also did it as well by accident once, but it didn't fit the mod concept I was working on and I didn't use it.
I NOW want to put it in a current map I'm modding but FORGOT how I did it. I am not lazy and believe the best way is "learning by doing" but after 3 days of trying, it won't work and it is frustrating as I know I'm probably doing something trivial like not checking the right box in HMT or swapping incorrect meta data.!!
I'd appreciate any help you folks could give me so I can get back on track with my mod!

Select the vehicle you want. Under the tag editor (on the side), scroll down to "Seats". Select the seat you want. Check "MC Invisible".

I thought the MC Invisible part meant that when clicked the MC couldn't see or get into that seat.
Edit: I just tried it and you are right L33T. Sorry about that.

Just tried it out L33T. I checked the tag editor for "Seats" & "MC Invisible" but when I try to save it, the checked boxes become unchecked!
This has me scrathing my head as I am certain this should be no big deal but I'm still "spinning my wheels on this"
If you come up with something else, pls. advise. In any case, I
appreciate you taking the time to help me out

Make sure you're using the DEFAULT plugin that came with HMT.

I used
Phenomena's vehicle plugin and it worked fine. You don't have to use the default one.

Correction: You are both right. It does work. I was trying to save the
boxes I had checked but was doing it wrong. I was confused that the boxes kept coming unchecked but I saved it right & to my surprise
it is now working. I try not to bother folks until I look into every possibility....guess I couldn't see the forest for the trees!
Thanks again. Really appreciate the support.
