# How To Disable AI on Arma Reforger

Learn how to disable the AI on your Arma Reforger server.

Disabling AI on your **Arma Reforger** server can create a more focused (PVP) multiplayer experience. Whether you're managing your server through the **Nodecraft control panel** or prefer direct file editing, this guide will walk you through both methods step-by-step.

## Using the Nodecraft Control Panel

**Note: Be sure that your Arma Reforger server is fully stopped before making any configuration changes or setting updates!**

1. Navigate to your Arma Reforger server dashboard.
2. Click on the **Game Settings** tab in the Nodecraft Control Panel.
3. Locate the **Disable AI** option.
4. Toggle the option to True (blue) to Disable AI from spawning.![The Game Settings tab for an Arma Reforger server hosted with Nodecraft](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1060x783/0f73ba639e/game-settings.png/m/1000x0/smart)![The Disable AI setting highlighted for an Arma Reforger server with Nodecraft](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/658x319/9c069489f2/disableai.png/m/)
5. Click **Submit** to apply the changes.
6. Start Your Server

## Editing the Config File Manually

If you don’t have access to the panel or prefer to handle things manually, you can disable AI by editing the server config file directly.

1. Locate your server’s files; at Nodecraft, this will be in the **Server Files** tab of your Control Panel.
2. Find and open the `config.json` file.
3. Look for the `"operating"` section.
4. Change the `disableAI` value to `true` like this:

  ```language-json
  "operating": {
    "disableAI": true
  }
  ```

If you don’t see an operating section in your file, you can add it to the end.

5. Save your changes

6. Start your server

## Conclusion

Disabling AI on your Arma Reforger server is simple and can help tailor the experience for a more **player-focused** environment. Whether using the **Nodecraft control panel** or editing `config.json` manually, both methods get the job done.
