LAMBS is an AI Enhancement mod in our core modset which helps GMs quickly command large groups of Enemy AI. Note that it should be used instead of standard vanila ARMA movement orders for infantry if possible. The following section details how to use the specific Modules present in the mod and their use cases.
Task CAMP and Task GARRISON are the most commonly used modules for defensive positions. Both Modules allow for a randomly pathing patrol to be generated.
Task CAMP sets your affected group into a relaxed state, perfect for simulating an unaware enemy. AI will use ambient animations such as sitting down or idly standing by.
Task GARRISON allows you to quickly spread AI into occupied buildings to simulate a garrison. You can set conditions for them to leave their garrisoned state, with “none” being the most restrictive on the AI, while also making them hold their positions to the bitter end.
Task PATROL allows you to set up AI patrols and can be done on a static or dynamic path.
Task RUSH will send the AI running to the nearest player or BLUFOR unit in an uncoordinated fashion. Best used for insurgent QRFs or as a last-resort assault.
Task ASSAULT/RETREAT is used in combination with Dynamic targets. After placing one from the modules panel, you can send the AI to that target to secure the destination. They will approach more tactically than Rush, using cover and formations. This can also be used to simulate OPFOR retreating by using the checkbox, but this has tendencies to make AI stuck in place or on objects.
Task CREEP is mainly used to ambush players. AI will sneak as close to BLUFOR as they can before coordinating fire when most likely to kill or when spotted.
Task CQB is used to send the AI to clear buildings; however, it doesn't always work as intended. Useful but don’t rely on it.
Task HUNT will simulate an OPFOR patrol with the added condition that the AI will work their way towards the players, slowly closing in on them. As part of this, they know exactly where the players are but don’t act like it.

LAMBS is an AI Enhancement mod in our core modset which helps GMs quickly command large groups of Enemy AI. Note that it should be used instead of standard Vanilla ARMA movement orders for infantry if possible. The following section details how to use the specific Modules present in the mod and their use cases.
Task / Module Description / Use Case
Task CAMP Sets the affected group into a relaxed state, ideal for simulating an unaware enemy. AI will use ambient animations such as sitting or idling. Good for defensive positions with low alert.
Task GARRISON Quickly spreads AI into occupied buildings to simulate a garrison. You can set conditions for them to leave; “none” is the most restrictive, making them hold position until death. Useful for creating static defenses.
Task PATROL Sets up AI patrols on a static or dynamic path. Ideal for creating roaming security forces or routine patrols.
Task RUSH Sends AI running directly to the nearest player/BLUFOR unit in an uncoordinated fashion. Best for insurgent QRFs or last-resort charges.
Task ASSAULT / RETREAT Used with Dynamic Targets. AI will move to secure the target location tactically, using cover and formations. Can simulate retreating (checkbox option), but retreat mode can sometimes cause AI to get stuck.
Task CREEP Used for ambushes. AI sneaks as close to BLUFOR as possible before opening fire at the most lethal moment or when spotted.
Task CQB Orders AI to clear buildings. Can be unreliable, so use with caution — better for flavour than guaranteed results.
Task HUNT Simulates an OPFOR patrol that gradually works its way toward the players. AI knows player positions but acts as if they are searching, slowly tightening the net.
