1. if global variable exists, why don't you use them? (what interest to  write _gunner = mortar_gunner if your unit is already mortar_gunner in editor or former script?)

2. alive applies on objects, not group; Anyway you can check for gunner in mortar because he is the only one who can fire (except further script switching the mortar crew);

3. allUnits is already a filter for men. on the other hand nearestObjects with "man" will return rabbits and snakes as well (welcome to arma world!).

Spoiler

But I never saw a blue rabbit

 

4. sleectRandom doesn't exist as command (nor variable) so the script throws an error for missing ";"

5. I hope you spawn / execVM your script! You could be stuck in that loop if unscheduled scope. The reason why i'll spawn mine as is:

 

0 = []spawn {
  sleep 2;

  private "_target";
  private _mag = (vehicle mortar_gunner currentMagazineTurret [0]);

  while {alive mortar_gunner && WEST countSide allUnits > 0 } do {

    _target = selectRandom (allUnits select {side _x == west});

   mortar_gunner doArtilleryFire [getPos _target, _mag, 1];

   vehicle mortar_gunner addMagazineTurret [_mag,[0],1];
   sleep 2;

   };

};

here mortar_gunner is the mortar gunner;

for vanilla mortar,  or any modded mortar, acting as an artillery, with [0] as gunner turret.

Thank you very much!
