hello everybody. i have some units that i made that need some help (total of 5 units) here are the first two since they are the ones needed first. thanks to anyone willing to help me out.
i have tried to make a kirov that can be loaded with people that can fire out i saw it in a map, but since then i lost the file and therefore lost the authors code. And before you ask to make sure that the requirement is a valid requirement, i have already added to to the [general] section of the rulesmd.ini and it works. Here is the entry i made, please tell me what i am doing worng because i have gotten it to land, but no one can get in, and thus no one could fire out :

Yes i have created my own weapons, and they are not the problem because i got them to work in the game if you would like me to post my weapons just ask.
Here is another unit i made, it is a terror drone that works for the most part. I made it a normal terror drone for the primary weapon, but the secondary i made it a deploy fire to launch Hornets. The problem is that sometimes when it is sitting still, it will launch the hornets when it is undeployed, and then when the hornets come back they dont regenerate. How can i fix that. Oh and it explodes when it dies :

And again I have created my own weapon for its death. when i get these two units i will post the other three. they are not as high of a priority yet because my bro has yet to finish the map for them to be play tested on.....im thinking of plugging them into a random map just to see how they work but, there is a lot i would have to delete when i returned the map to normal. But alas, that is a problem for another time, right now we would appreciate help with these units. Sorry for the long post and thanks again for your help.
EDIT: applyed some changes to both units
