Im trying to change up the pre defined weapons that these AI spawn with. and change it to what I have here.

//Anti Vehicle
_leader = _group createunit ["Soldier_AA_PMC", [(_pos select 0) + 10, _pos select 1, 0], [], 0.5, "Form"];
_leader removeAllWeapons_x;
_leader addMagazine "SMAW_HEAA";
_leader addMagazine "SMAW_HEAA";
_leader addWeapon "SMAW";
_leader addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
_leader addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
_leader addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
_leader addWeapon "M4A1_AIM_CAMO";

//Support
_man2 = _group createunit ["Soldier_GL_PMC", [(_pos select 0) - 30, _pos select 1, 0], [], 0.5, "Form"];
_man2 removeAllWeapons_x;
_man2 addMagazine "100Rnd_556x45_BetaCMag";
_man2 addMagazine "100Rnd_556x45_BetaCMag";
_man2 addWeapon "MG36";

I have 4 ai spawning with what Im doing. This is only the first 2 of the group. the problem is that as the code sits only 1 AI spawns in and he still has his default weapon load out and not what Im trying to change it to. I am new to the scripiting thing and I have googled this to death. Any ideas, Thanks

removeallweapons _leader is the correct syntax. It should work if you change that, as I don't see any other errors. To be sure, double check your magazine and weapon names here

So it should be like this? Also is there away to keep them from killing each other when the mission spawns in?

//Anti Vehicle
_leader = _group createunit ["Soldier_AA_PMC", [(_pos select 0) + 10, _pos select 1, 0], [], 0.5, "Form"];
removeAllWeapons_leader;  <------------like that
_leader addMagazine "SMAW_HEAA";
_leader addMagazine "SMAW_HEAA";
_leader addWeapon "SMAW";
_leader addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
_leader addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
_leader addMagazine "30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
_leader addWeapon "M4A1_AIM_CAMO";

//Support
_man2 = _group createunit ["Soldier_GL_PMC", [(_pos select 0) - 30, _pos select 1, 0], [], 0.5, "Form"];
removeAllWeapons_man2;   <----------------like that
_man2 addMagazine "100Rnd_556x45_BetaCMag";
_man2 addMagazine "100Rnd_556x45_BetaCMag";
_man2 addWeapon "MG36";

removeallweapons _leader;

Notice the space between. Also they shouldn't be killing eachother since they're in the same group. Did you define _group previously in your script? PMC's side is resistance, so you should define _group like this:

_rescenter = createCenter RESISTANCE; // If you have no other resistance units (PMC, TK, UN CDF) on the map, this is required for createGroup to work
_group = createGroup RESISTANCE;

You don't need to use capslock actually, I'm just used to that.

Are you passing anything to the script when executing it? Since you execute it like this: nul = [group,position] execVM "smallgroup.sqf";

I don't think so If I follow u. Pretty much the mod run random mission across the map. It determines what size unit it spawns for the type of mission. If u would like to see the other files I can post him here.

How does your execVM for smallgroup.sqf look?

_this select 0 and _this select 1 select from the array you passed to the execVM, that's why I ask.

You also have "removeremoveallweapons" on the Support Class.

Additionally, post what -showscripterrors shows you when executing this script (which you find in your arma2.rpt file)

Sorry been a few day, I work night so this is the first chance I have to get back here and answer your questions.

removeremoveallweapons that was a typeo on my part.

This is the entire smallgroup.sqf file with what I think is the way u were telling me it needed to look.

This is the execVM for the small group.

CivGrpS = createGroup civilian;
[CivGrpS,_randomPos]execVM "server\missions\createUnits\smallGroup.sqf";

Do you have other civilian units on the map? If not, add this to the execVM:

civcenter = createCenter civilian;

also in your script:

if(!isServer) exitWith{};

should be the correct syntax.

Also in your execVM, how is _randomPos defined?

Ok there are 3 group.sql file running. Normally on 2 at any given time. smallGroup.sql, midGroup.sql and largeGroup.sql

So your saying it should look like this

civcenter = createCenter civilian;;
[CivGrpS,_randomPos]execVM "server\missions\createUnits\smallGroup.sqf";

if(!isServer) exitWith{};

Use that instead of if (!X_Server) exitWith which you had in your script.
