is there any way to check if a grid is occupied? I am trying to spawn some mobs alongside the kingpin assassins when I do by random location some of them dont spawn, I figured is because they are set to spawn in a occupied grid but the createarmedcivilian function doesnt return anything.
the gridnumbers for the bountyhunters and other script-placed civilians are written in the lua-scripts (the number in the brackets, look at flugentes description). as far as I know, you have to check inside the map-editor if a grid-number is free (also to make sure there is no wall, deep water, etc.) . in the "docs"-folder of your JA2 1.13 installation there are two guide for map-editor. when in map-editor and moving mouse, you should see grid-number at the bottom-left of map-editor (picture of this in those guides)
I wouldn't add those armedCivilains of yours at the same place in scripts the bountyhunters of flugentes quest. Try to add the lines needed where the other civilains are.

o = math.random(1, 4)
if o == 1 then CreateArmedCivilain(CivGroup.YOUR_GROUP_GROUP, SoldierClass.SOLDIER_CLASS_ARMY, 15555, hostile )
if o == 2 Then CreateArmedCivilain(CivGroup.YOUR_GROUP_GROUP, SoldierClass.SOLDIER_CLASS_ARMY, 16666, hostile )
.
.
.

Something like this . 15555 and 16666 in the example are gridnumbers I just made up. The "Your Group" has to be defined in CivGroupNames.xml and also has to be added into civGroups in the lua-script, at least, that's what I have done.
Instead of the Bountyhunters rather look at how those blackmarket-guys are added or the d5 merchants whose spawning depends on kingpin to get the idea. If you still want to change bountyhunters look into flugentes description of the bountyhunter-quest (somewhere here under new features), there you'll find details on what he has done and which scripts, xmls are to be change (if I remember correctly, at least quest.lua had also stuff related to this).

I hope this isn't confusing more. Better start with reading flugentes description.
