You can force a unit out of bipod or resting with:

```sqf
_unit playMove "";
```

[playMove](../commands/playMove.md), as well as [switchMove](../commands/switchMove.md), appears to not work when forcing a player out of being deployed. A more reliable method is:

```sqf
_player setPos (_player modelToWorld [0,0,0]);
```
