I've recently returned to StarCraft II and map making after a 2 year hiatus. The first thing I did upon my return was to take a look at some of the old maps I created before I left. They all worked, but sadly some of them had lost some functionality. I was hoping you guys could help me restore it.
Specifically I have a custom map where I've placed a single bunker for each player as their only building, and then edited the bunker so it can create various units (income is generated through killing incoming waves of Zerg). However, in the 2 years I've been gone, changes have apparently happened, and my bunkers can no longer build Siege Tanks and Thors. Does anyone know how/when that happened, and how I fix it?
Please keep in mind that in my 2 years gone, my knowledge of the Galaxy Editor has also been mostly forgotten. So please keep it as simple as you can for me.
Welcome back! Lots of thing have changed in what's been nearly 2 years :P
My first assumption would be that, perhaps, the actual melee game requirements for building a siege tank or thor changed. In that cause, it might prevent you from building them in your custom map. What prevents you from building the siege tank and thor? Is the button just not there, or is it grayed out? If it's grayed out, then what's the tooltip say?

The buttons for Siege Tank and Thor are just not there. My custom bunker also has the ability to build Marines, Marauders, Ghosts, Ravens and Medivacs. Those all have their buttons still, and they all work.
Also, I vaguely recall being able to see/edit some representation of a unit/building's command card in the editor itself, but I can't find that anymore. Is that gone, or have I just forgotten where it is?
Figured it out now. I found the place to edit a unit's command card (not where I remember it being 2 years ago), and realized that somehow the button for making Thors was not linking to anything, and the button for making Siege Tanks was fully functional, but another button had been placed over it, effectively hiding the Siege Tank button.
