So i have been looking for days and can't seem to find a tutorial on how to make campaign units (i.e medics,firebats,wraiths) build from a barracks or any other structure. I tried to make a siege tank build from a barracks but the icon wouldn't show up when i tested it.
Well, you go to the Data Editor. Then to the Units section. You're wanting to edit the Barracks, so go find that and click on it.
Then, to allow it to train a new unit, you'll need to double-click on the Ability - Command Card + section, and add a button for training Siege Tanks. Also, you'll have to actually allow it to train the Siege Tank; to do that, go to Abilities, find Barracks - Train, and edit Info +, right-clicking on one of the unused Train slots to add your new unit.
When I create a new map with Campaign (Liberty) dependencies, its working perfectly but when I change the dependencies on a map already done and I try to add a campaign unit, like medic, I add him on Barracks - Train and then, when I need to set the Command Card section, the Train Medic option is not appearing in the Ability Command, but only Ghost, Marine, Marauder and Reaper.
I tried with both Campaign dependencies: Liberty and Liberty Story...
I need to change something more than dependencies?
Here I have two print screens:
Edit: After I change the dependencies in any way and even back to how it was previously, I can't add units anymore, neither SCV (which is not requiring the campaign dependencies).
Hey, it looks in order (barracks image is strange, you should only see ability command train). The only thing you can do now, is start over and use my guide: if you want pictures :http://www.darvo.org/blog/?p=259
And here is only the text:
A simple Tutorial about how to add Units to A building and let them be trained out of it:
First select the building you want, I used the Barracks.
Then double click the Barrack Train icon, a window pops up on your right side, now double click on a empty Train Command like 07.
Under Info search the unit you want to add, like the SCV.
Then scroll down, and click on the Add value button (green one) under Info Unit
Then search again for the SCV and click on it.
Now press oke, and you see it in your window.
Double click on the Barrack icon in your left window to see the Command Card
Click on a empty grey spot, and use the green Add Button
Search for the SCV and click ok
Now under the window were the SCV has been added you see a command type, search for the Ability Command
At the ability search bar, find the Barracks Train and use it. And then at the Ability Command search for the Train SCV.
Now you can train a SCV at the barracks, when you build it in the game. (Redunzgofasta’s for helping me out with this)

all help appreciated thanks in advance, mchen804
If the icon doesn't show up, make sure you're editing the Ability Command Card as well as the plain Ability section.
@Sceptilesolarbeam: Go
uh could you explain what the ability command card is please?
Well, you go to the Data Editor. Then to the Units section. You're wanting to edit the Barracks, so go find that and click on it.
