how the hell do i get AI to not use mortars in antistasi ultimate

[a gamer]

i swear to god the amount of times an AI unit mounts my mortar (which is loaded on my car intended for me to bombard enemies) and blows me up is insane

Mouse wheel prevent AI from using it... I mean that should work...

I think you're talking about a mortar loaded onto a truck. Either by using the Load onto command or through the garage. The simplest straightest way is shoot that ***** who occupied your property then go out of the HQ area. You can revive him later if you really care about him.
Load static weapons onto trucks is okay, but don't use(occupy) the weapon without unload it first, or this will cause some nasty collision bug (ARMA'd).
Just shoot him, you are the greatest savior/invincible generalissimo of this corner of the world, you can do whatever you want until server administrator intervenes lol

Or some factions have mortar technical (pickup) for sale in weapon dealer's inventory, that should not cause the collision bug (the explosion).

yeah, they always mount the mortar (somehow) while i'm driving to set up a mortar position and then for some reason they shoot leading to the destruction of me, the AI and my vehicle

Another workaround: disassemble the mortar then reassemble it at destination. Safest way so far. Also you can try the commando mortar which was added in the new QRF cDLC, works fine, but not sure if you can get it in AU.

That was an old bug I almost forgot it exists lol. Just drive a pickup then load the mortar back on it ;)

and then the AI gets on the mortar somehow and makes me explode along with it

There comes the official solution: In the Battle Option menu ('Y' menu), press the Commander button, then there's this new button 'Remove crew' on the lowest right corner, point to the vehicle you want to remove crew from, then click this button. Tested it, works on mortar loaded on trucks.
Make sure you downloaded the newest version of AU.
