The following script will create a group consisting of a Team Leader, Gunner and Asst. Gunner and give the group 2 random MOVE waypoints. After the group reached the 1st waypoint, waypoint statement will execute BIS_fnc_unpackStaticWeapon and the group will stop and unpack static weapon, while leader is given random position to go to. After 7 seconds the BIS_fnc_packStaticWeapon is executed and the group packs and heads to 2nd waypoint.
