The Tank general's overlord uses the regular overlord gattling cannon.

Also does Draw affect anything else than weapon bone locations, game mechanics wise?

The addons attach to the bone FIREPOINT01 on the overlord model. The two models have this bone in different places.

Does this also mean I can't just add Overlord Contain to anything I want? Since it's something that attaches to an existing firepoint?

Hmm by supported you mean having a proper firepoint/bone for it? E.g. a supply truck would not support a (visible rotating) turret since it has no firepoints in its model?

You can then use ObjectCreationUpgrade to spawn the OCL. And if you don't want it to require an upgrade then you can give them the upgrade for free (see Dr Thrax's Command Center - he gets anthrax beta for free).

Also I added ECM behavior to the Overlord instead of one of its contained modules this time just to see if it's the correct code, works fine; only I got a "serious error" crash, the first I've had so far that was not caused by me alt-tabbing. Do you think it could be related to the ECM behavior?

EDIT2 those lines of pseudocode work when I put them in a bunker (the building). So I guess OverlordContain is the issue...?

GrantUpgradeCreate on most units will crash saved games.

I'm honestly surprised that didn't work. I could have sworn I've seen it done before. You may have to give the overlord slots by default (like the helix) and have the OCL spawn in the overlord.

Wouldn't that make the Overlord spawn with inf inside it? Rather than having the inf be generated upon getting the bunker?

I tried removing the TERTIARY weapon from the Overlord, in 1 of the test runs it crashed again but not the others. There was a lot of crap going on the screen however.

Also, somehow the Gattling gun will refuse to shoot (or even turn) if I add a TERTIARY weapon to the Gattling upgrade. Any idea why that is?

You mean like glitchy graphics?
