I am trying to make AI engage enemy infantry with an RPG. I was reading the comments and user 4ur0r4 made a comment which also perfectly describes my coding experience... the AI glitch and equip/de-equip their RPG and rarely fire it at enemy infantry.

Has anyone else solved this problem?

So far I have followed a very similar approach as 4ur0r4. I have a scripted function which removes the primary weapon and grenades and then command the unit to load HE RPG ammo (if required) since units won't fire AT at infantry. Then I call selectWeapon on the secondary weapon launcher. The unit will immediately de-equip the launcher despite having no other weapons.

I found a few forum comments and this is what seems to be happening:

* This is a bug in the Arma engine introduced between A2:OA and A3
* doFire and doSuppressiveFire does not work, unit never fires
* forceFireWeapon works maybe 10% of the time but unit will usually ignore
* Creating a target vehicle doesn't seem to work although I saw some interesting ideas for using a small item that is classified as a vehicle (a land cutter tool)

"Land_ClutterCutter_small_F" createVehicle (getPosASL _target); // doesnt work :(

I am getting into weird solutions like spawning a parachute with invisible textures or something but hoping to find a simpler solution.
