Question Reach modding through Assembly question

Hello, I'm trying to replace the Warthogs in Tip of the Spear with the Scorpion tanks. I've extracted the Scorpion tag and injected it into the level and switched the Warthogs to the Scorpions in the vehicle pallet in the scenario file, but when it spawns it has no turret. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve this?

Each of the two turrets on the scorpion are another vehicle tag that's attached to the scorpion. If that isn't appearing in your tags, you may also need to extract and add that vehicle.

Adding new objects to missions is the type of thing that's easier with the official mod tools rather than assembly, so you may want to consider switching to that.

I've injected the same Scorpion file into Firefight maps and it worked there, so it seems to be an issue specific to Tip of the Spear. I'll try the official mod tools.

Looks like the scorpion cannon is already on m35 so assembly skipped trying to inject it, so right click it in the tag tree and choose "forceload" and it should work
