Set the unit's init to this

this setUnitPos "DOWN";this setBehaviour "AWARE";this setCombatMode "RED";this disableAI "MOVE";

You can change the setUnitPos to "DOWN" = prone, "MIDDLE" = kneeling or "UP" = standing up.

For info when you set any unit to 'this disableAI "MOVE";' you can come up behind the unit and it will not turn and face you. Even if you shoot them. Not very realistic.

What I normally do is set a trigger around any diableAI units, where if BluFor is detected within a certain radius then set the units to enableAI "MOVE";

For example. Add an OpFor marksman and call him Sniper1, face them in the direction you want and set their init to this.

this setUnitPos "DOWN";this setBehaviour "AWARE";this setCombatMode "RED";this disableAI "MOVE";

Now create a trigger around them with the following:=

Axis A = 30

Axis B = 30

Activation BluFor

Once

On Act: Sniper1 enableAI "MOVE";

This means you can't just walk up on them. They will defend themselves when you get within 30m. Even if you come up behind them.
