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. private _group = createGroup west; private _pos = player getRelPos [20, 0]; private _randomDir = random 360; private _wp1 = _group addWaypoint [_pos getPos [20, _randomDir], 10]; _wp1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp1 setWaypointStatements ["true", " group this allowFleeing 0; [group this, 'StaticWeaponUnpacked', { _this spawn { sleep 7; [_this select 0] call BIS_fnc_packStaticWeapon; }; }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; [ this, this, this getPos [1000, random 360], this getPos [10, 0] ] call BIS_fnc_unpackStaticWeapon; "]; private _wp2 = _group addWaypoint [_pos getPos [20, _randomDir - 180], 10]; _wp2 setWaypointType "MOVE"; private _leader = _group createUnit ["B_Soldier_TL_F", _pos, [], 0, "NONE"]; private _gunner = _group createUnit ["B_Support_GMG_F", _pos, [], 0, "NONE"]; private _assistant = _group createUnit ["B_Support_AMG_F", _pos, [], 0, "NONE"]; units _group doFollow _leader;
