Try creating a group of guys and then assigning three guys from the group, not the groupleader, as driver, gunner and commander.

Dunno if it will work but it sounds like it should.

Ok here is a script that will allow you to change the leader of a group.  Save it as something like:

ChangeLeader.sqs  

and call  it by

[NameOfNewLeader] exec "ChangeLeader.sqs"

Where:  NameOfNewLeader is the name you have given to the unit you want to be the leader.  

The code is:
Code: [Select]
_newleader = _this select 0

_units = units (group _newleader)

_units = _units - [_newleader]
_units join grpnull
_units join _newleader
exit

It even works if the group has waypoints.  The group will continue to follow the waypoints with the new leader
