Starting with the Code:

Object SupW_FocusLaserOuter

  KindOf = IMMOBILE NO_COLLIDE UNATTACKABLE
  EditorSorting = SYSTEM
  Draw                = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_01
    ParticlesAttachedToAnimatedBones = Yes
    ConditionState    = None
      Model           = EXSMB2
      Animation       = EXSMB2.EXSMB2
      AnimationMode   = LOOP
    End
  End 

   ;---End mobility code---
   
  Behavior = EMPUpdate ModuleTag_02
    DisabledDuration    = 1
    EffectRadius        = 0.000001
    Lifetime            = 4500
    StartFadeTime       = 9000
    StartScale          = 0.10
    TargetScaleMin      = 0.3
    TargetScaleMax      = 0.3
    StartColor          = R:174 G:190 B:230
    EndColor            = R:174 G:190 B:230
    DoesNotAffect       = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS SELF
  End

  Behavior = OCLUpdate ModuleTag_FocusStrike
	MinDelay = 3000
	MaxDelay = 3000
	OCL = FocusLaserStrike
  End

  Behavior = InstantDeathBehavior ModuleTag_Shrink
    DeathTypes          = ALL
    OCL                 = INITIAL FocusLaserShrink
  End


  ; *** AUDIO Parameters ***
  SoundAmbient = MicrowaveBeamSound


  Geometry            = SPHERE
  GeometryMajorRadius = 30.0
  GeometryIsSmall     = No
End


Object SupW_FocusLaserShrink

  KindOf = IMMOBILE NO_COLLIDE UNATTACKABLE
  EditorSorting = SYSTEM
  Draw                = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_01
    ParticlesAttachedToAnimatedBones = Yes
    ConditionState    = None
      Model           = EXSMB2
      Animation       = EXSMB2.EXSMB2
      AnimationMode   = LOOP
    End
  End 

   ;---End mobility code---
   
  Behavior = EMPUpdate ModuleTag_02
    DisabledDuration    = 1
    EffectRadius        = 0.000001
    Lifetime            = 2000
    StartFadeTime       = 9000
    StartScale          = 0.3
    TargetScaleMin      = 0.1
    TargetScaleMax      = 0.1
    StartColor          = R:174 G:190 B:230
    EndColor            = R:174 G:190 B:230
    DoesNotAffect       = ALLIES ENEMIES NEUTRALS SELF
  End

  ; *** AUDIO Parameters ***
  SoundAmbient = MicrowaveBeamSound

  Geometry            = SPHERE
  GeometryMajorRadius = 30.0
  GeometryIsSmall     = No
End

The OCLs are all nice and pretty, and the problem is only intermittent. Basically the SupW_FocusLaserShrink doesn't always draw. And the "doesn't always" is why this is annoying. It will draw most of the time, but occasionally it won't. I'm pretty sure it still exists because the MicrowaveBeamSound is still going on (and technically the SupW_FocusLaserOuter should be dead, and so not making any sound). I think that most the time it doesn't draw is when I fire the weapon on or near an object, but it was hard to be sure. Would it be some kind of collision issue (with a NO_COLLIDE KindOf no less)? Ideas?

You could always give it the draw module of a more typical unit (such as a Crusader) and see if it still has problems drawing.

That's...a good idea. I'll try it out in a bit and see what happens (still expecting it won't draw half the time, but it's not too high on my priority list right now).

Edit: Okay I set it to draw the crusader, and am still getting the same error. I still can't see any consistency between each occurrence (near an object, far away from any objects), it just happens. I tried looking around the map too to see if it was just drawing somewhere else for some reason, but didn't see anything.

So, any other ideas?
