The group that you spawn the critters under should be the group name that appears. So if you want XXX to appear, you'll have to spawn the mobs using the XXX group.
As for your second question, currently you cannot choose which critters spawn, aside from assigning a Boss objective.
What do you mean by "spawn" the mobs? Don't they do that themselves randomly? What I want to do is to rename the villain group from "XXX_minion", which is the filename, to simply "XXX" in the mission.
You won't be able to change the name of one custom group to the same name as another custom group. If you wanted to change XXX_minion to YYY, that would be doable. However, if you want their group to be XXX within the mission, you will have to use them from the XXX group.

I can't figure this one out. I have created a slew of custom critters and made sub sets for minion/Lt, Boss, etc. How do you name the subsets so that the villain group name is correct when you play the mission? For example, if my master group is called XXX, and I use a subset of XXX_minions, the critters have a group name of XXX_minions when I test the mission.

Because as far as the game is concerned they are all separate groups and you can only assign one group to be the one that appears on the map. Any other groups have to be added with patrols, ambushes, boss details, etc.
I wonder why you did this instead of just putting them all in the same group like how all other enemy groups function. You're just making things harder for yourself.
Ah well I have a number of custom bosses that only show up in the last mission. If they are all in the XXX group, I figured that they could pop up any time, so I wanted to split them up.
Most simple solution you can have. Name the minions, lts, regular bosses "XXX" and name the group for the uniques something like "XXX Elite". It's the best you can do.
Thanks for the help everyone!
I simply name my "singleton" groups containing one EB/AV for the name of the character. But some might not find that as immersive.
Dec out.
Hi,

Ok thought of another question... how do I create a spawn that includes say 4 custom critters of my choice?
Thanks!
