Invisible Squad Indicator Icon, UI garrison not updating

Hello. I am adding the 25 Pounder into CoH 2. So far, it can be built, animates and works with a few exceptions.

This screenshot shows the 25s. The right one has a squad garrisoned, but it cannot be seen (which is fine) but the UI on the bottom doesn't update. You can tell the squad to disembark still.

The aiming cone does not update with the gun rotation, even though the abilities work. I can fix the cone by adding in a moving_ext, but then the gun does not animate its rotation.
~~The Squad indicator/icon above the emplacement will not show up.~~ This was solved by recloning the 17 pounder the gun. I have no clue what fixed it but it works.
The garrisoned squad isn't show in the UI on the bottom.

I have seen this strange behavior before when spawners spawn entities instead of squads. Any help to fix these 3 things would be greatly appreciated.

The aiming cone does not update with the gun rotation, even though the abilities work. I can fix the cone by adding in a moving_ext, but then the gun does not animate its rotation.

This is because the gun does not "move" when it rotates, like other team weapons do. It just pivots, which is a different thing code-wise. You'll see it when you compare the gun entity to other static howitzers and I'm honestly not sure if there's anything you can do about it.

Its like adding a aiming cone to a mortar, which is strange and probably buggy. My suggestion would to be to work around this little bug and use a special range indicator rather than the current facing one.

For the garrisoning: the emplacement only has one visible model slot and you can not mod more in. (If you look closely the left has 3 crew while the right has 4.) I can not say why you can not see the squad in the UI, though I think this it has to due with the EBPS, UI, Squad select. With only one model able to be shown, I would advise disable garrisoning. This one model can be a weapon team and its attach crew, but in order to allow a weapon team to garrison infantry would be requirement as well.
