Is it possible to mod the helix to give it all its upgrades as it is built?

So far its possible for the emperor, overlord and avenger to change their turrets/upgrades, using overlordcontain.

But it does not work for the helix.

Using this causes only the gattling to appear;

Behavior = HelixContain ModuleTag_gattling
Slots = 40
DamagePercentToUnits = 10%
AllowInsideKindOf = INFANTRY VEHICLE PORTABLE_STRUCTURE
ForbidInsideKindOf = AIRCRAFT
ExitDelay = 100
NumberOfExitPaths = 1
PassengersAllowedToFire = Yes
PayloadTemplateName = ChinaHelixGattlingCannon2
End


Behavior = HelixContain ModuleTag_propaganda
Slots = 40
DamagePercentToUnits = 10%
AllowInsideKindOf = INFANTRY VEHICLE PORTABLE_STRUCTURE
ForbidInsideKindOf = AIRCRAFT
ExitDelay = 100
NumberOfExitPaths = 1
PassengersAllowedToFire = Yes
PayloadTemplateName = ChinaHelixPropagandaTower2
End


;--------------------------
;--------------------------

Behavior = HelixContain ModuleTag_bunker
Slots = 40
DamagePercentToUnits = 10%
AllowInsideKindOf = INFANTRY VEHICLE PORTABLE_STRUCTURE
ForbidInsideKindOf = AIRCRAFT
ExitDelay = 100
NumberOfExitPaths = 1
PassengersAllowedToFire = Yes
PayloadTemplateName = Infa_ChinaHelixBattleBunker
End


Overlordcontain gives the same result

The other 2 appear inside the unit, as if they are being transported but cannot be exited.
but it still functions properly though.

Create one portable structure that has all three models, plus functionality.
If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I think this is what causes the issue;

Draw = W3DDependencyModelDraw ModuleTag_01
OkToChangeModelColor = Yes
AttachToBoneInContainer = CHASSISBONE

all 3 attachments use the same bone, even though visually they appear at different parts of the model;

the gattling appears at the bottom of the cockpit
the speaker appears on the bottom, side
the bunker is wrapped around the sides

I'll just have to work out the all in one portable.

make a single portable structure-- possibly your own custom model, and just give all the functionalities of the attachments to it.

I've done this before. It is 100% doable without custom models. You just need three draw modules.

I was just about to try putting 3 draw modules into a new custom model.

ExtraPublicBone the common attachment point. Add just 2 more draw modules to the original draw, to draw the bunker and propaganda tower, attach them to the public bone as for the technical gunner. Then grant upgrade create the gattling gun to the object so it uses the normal helix contain to contain that. Allow the riders to fire from the start and add a speker tower behaviour to the helix object itself. Also mod the command set,
