Hi. I have an upgrade that adds 4 assault rifles to a squad. So the issues I'm encountering are -
May someone help me on fixing this?

Assuming your slot items take up 1 slot, do you have at least 4 slots for the squad?

Also double check that the SBP only has those slot_items and isn't receiving any additional ones, as having 5+ would also cause issues (the additional ones will not get applied).

Yup. But I want the upgrade to only take two slots, so I have two rifles that take up 1 slot each, and another two that doesn't take up any.

Yup. Initially the SBP has no slot_items. The upgrade is like a Paratroopers' Thompson upgrade.

Just make each slot item take up 1 slot, and have your upgrade give the squad the desired number of slot items.

Okay, I changed the upgrade a bit. Instead of adding four, it now adds two, but it's not working. Here's a comparison -
First image with two Thompson SMGs
Second image shows that squad is only using one SMG even though they're supposed to have 2.
EDIT: Also, by right, the upgrade has no limit, so the upgrade can be researched for each squad at least two times (it's a squad upgrade, each of these squads have 4 weapon slots). But when I test in in-game, I can only research the upgrade once for each squad. Why is this happening?

So, in your upgrade, do you have two slot item add actions? Are they set to permanent?
Do you have local or global max limit set to 1?

Yep. Two slot_item_add actions with both of them set to permanent.
Do you have local or global max limit set to 1?
Nope. Both of those fields are set to 0 for the upgrade.

required_slot_item_size = 2
required_in_territory = in_supply

In CoH1/2 you can't give a squad the same upgrade twice or more. It simply doesn't work, or doesn't work properly, as it won't give you the extra slot_items.
The CoH2 Panzergrenadiers used to have two Panzerschreck upgrades, each one giving one slot_item, and the way they did that was to have two separate named upgrades rather than allowing you to buy the same one multiple times. So in your case you're better off having a 2nd (or 3rd, if it goes that high) upgrade that appears when the one before it is bought.

Cool. I'll give that a shot. But still, I'm trying to fix the slot_items from disappearing from the squad. So far I have no luck... This mod tool is so strange and unpredictable, I have realised.

Ah, yes. It had been a while since I used squad upgrades. I forgot about that. However, I think it only applies to unit_upgrade_panel upgrades. If you use command_panel upgrades, it depends on your requirements.
Anyways, the tools are not unpredictable. It is hard to say why you are having issues without seeing more of what you are doing.

May I send you my mod file? Or should I take screenshots of the _exts?

Hi hi, sorry for the very late response, I've been real busy lately...
Anyway, I have sent you the mod folder in a .zip. Hoping for the best here

Okay. Without making any changes, the upgrade gives the squad two slot items. I am not sure why yours did not have two added.
I noticed you have four dummy slot items added in the squad_action_apply_ext. Why? Delete those, and your problem will go away. If you are trying to restrict how many slot items the squad can have, change the number of slots or the size of the slot items you are adding.

Oh no no, it does so in my game too. What I'm trying to say is that when the squad gets reinforced (let's say, reinforced from 1 man to 8 man), the slot_item does not get re-added back. I think I explained that with the images in the previous replies.

It's to test and see if using slot_items as a requirement field will limit how many squad members will throw grenades with a grenade assault ability.
Anyway, removing those dummy items fixed the issue. Yay! Thanks for the help
So while we're talking about that, is there a way to limit how many squad members throw grenades in a grenade assault ability?

It's either one or all, as far as I know.
