The game gives no errors, so why doesn't it appear?

1. Here's your problem:

Code:

Behavior = AIUpdateInterface ModuleTag_03
Turret
TurretTurnRate = 60 ; turn rate, in degrees per sec
TurretPitchRate = 60
FirePitch = 90 ; Instead of aiming pitchwise at the target, it will aim here
AllowsPitch = Yes
ControlledWeaponSlots = PRIMARY SECONDARY
End
AutoAcquireEnemiesWhenIdle = No NotWhileAttacking
End

It only uses the turret for primary and secondary weapon. Add TERTIARY ControlledWeaponSlots and it should work Wink

2. What do you mean with "it isn't appearing"? Can you build it and the drone is invisible or can't you build it at all?

The carrier unit works fine, there are no errors when the game starts, but the drone's build icon just doesn't appear. However I just think I noticed why...

Code:

CommandSet = AmericaTankPaladinCommandSet

I'm such a newb.

Yep, that's the source. Don't worry, we all make such mistakes sometimes #Tongue

being a newb would be constantly asking for help. Having shown that you can check your own work you have shown that you may be new, but not entirely stupid. Smile

I'm the newb. Although I have made a few things for myself which I am proud of (first and foremost being managing to make it so civilian buildings give money when garrisoned, but only to a specific faction).
