I'm building a tower def map and when I went through and edited each of the races workers back when I started, I cleared out everything on their command cards except move, stop, hold, patrol. I also changed them to fly, invulnerable, no attack, all that. Now when I finally got most of my basic trigger work done, I went to do the data editing, which has proven to be a rough learning experience. I made a copy of the warp in building ability and edited out all of the protoss buildings and am placing my towers in their places as they get created.
My issue came when I was putting the build towers commands on the command cards. I went through a big fiasco with my scv where I did who knows what all to the unit and undid stuff till I finally figured out I didn't have the ability on it's ability list. For the first while of troubleshooting I didn't have the button in game to change to second command card. After everything it was there and I thought it was all good. I completed another tower and went to do the same thing with the drone, but I can't for the life of me get the button to change command cards to show up in game. I have the ability on the unit like I should. It's a simple button that looks like the original build basic building and simply tells it to go to card 2 with no requirements or learn ability.
I don't know what's wrong with it, I've compared virtually every part of the scv with the drone and probe and they are virtually the same save some extras for each based on their race, but not in play. Still shows up for scv, refuses to show up for drone or probe.
The button will not show up unless there is an active ability that be be performed by pressing the button.
Make the button do something and it will show up
I think I've figured it out with some troubleshooting. At least figured out why it's not there, not figured out how to fix it yet. It will show up with the first tower I created on the second command card, but not with the latest tower I created. The ability is set up to correspond with the correct unit, however something is wrong with the unit and it's not registering as a building that can be built? Or something to that effect.
Is there somewhere in the editor that makes it to where you can build something? I duplicated the tower from a spine crawler and just got rid of the ability to uproot. Anyone know if maybe I altered some key part or something to cause it to not be able to build?
It's not an issue with the ability. The ability is the same one for both towers, and the other tower works fine. It has something to do with that tower in particular. I've been combing over every part of the tower, but I don't particularly know what I'm looking for.

This is killing me. It's like a brick wall in my map making process. Need help.
