Looking at your config I am going to say its because of the name of your kit in the kits options. If you created a kit called "vip+" you would not set the config option as kits.vip+ it would simply just be vip+
@fastburst so id put "vip+"?

Ive made them spawn with the players autokit (vip is too good :) ). but for some reason they arent using the gun. they just follow people around. 
when you created your kit - i fyou want them to be armed, when creating the kit or kits, there needs to be a gun in the hotbar or they won't be armed. NPCs will not grab agun from the main inventory.
ive got them to spawn with a gun (they use it now :) 
bradly doesnt spawn with the troopers anymore? can u tell me how to add it back. thanks
:)

make sure when you create the kit that you are holding the gun and is fully loaded. also your mileage may vary depending on the gun you decide to go with.
