Goal: Making a new building into a "Commander's Headquarters" for each race. The building would spawn a hero unit that will have an effect to give bonuses to units around it.
So far, it seemed I knew what to do to get the structure on the SCV: new button, add the unit to the SCV(build) ability->info, add the ability to the command card for the SCV. I added perdition turrets, a psi-disrupter, etc. The new unit is just the merc compound with some changes.
Bug - the ability does not appear in game at all on the scv, not even greyed out. Other things, when requirements are not met, are there but greyed, finally appearing when requisites are done.
Bingo sir! Checking the requirements in the SCV - Build ability, I see I had the button suppressed instead of restricted. I have not tested changing to restricted like the others I see, but can I assume that suppressed makes it not appear at all?
I spoke too soon. Even with no requirements, it does not appear.
I did notice something really odd. It looks like it somehow switched the Merc Compound name on the -original- file. So, instead of the usual way (having a green duplicate file appear) I have 2 files, but somehow both are named "Commander's Headquarters"
I am going to try removing that file, and then redoing it.

What could I have missed?
Thanks ahead!!
You'll have to give more specifics. What did you change on the merc compound? How and where did you put the requirements for building it?

Any ideas are very welcome.
Nvm, got it. Somehow the copy of the Merc Compound was bugged, so I copied a Barracks and recreated it, it works.
