I had this problem before and now it's happenning all over again. Basically, I'm using some Bothans as locals and they aren't spawning. Everything else is, but they're not
My lua: Please note that cp5 is the local command post.
Here is my error log: I can't see what's going on here. Yes, all_inf_officer is in the file wok_inf_basic, so theres nothing wrong there.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, since u set up the bothan to be named "wok_inf_basic"......

Shouldn't you call THAT name here instead? Like so:

AddUnitClass (3, "wok_inf_basic", 20)

On another note its basically useless to call the "all_inf_officer" anyway mainly cus you didn't even load the all.lvl

wok_inf_basic isn't a unit it's a req file that calls up several odfs in one file (although I'm not sure why it's used). If you take a look at the default Kashyyyk lua it loads up the "wok_inf_basic" req in the lua and adds three different unit classes from it (rocketeer, medic and normal wookiee). I just edited it so it only contains all_inf_officer.

You don't need to load all.lvl to have that paticular unit on your side. I copied all the files it uses across to the wok sides (mainly because it makes things more simple). Should have explained myself more clearly on that one

Well, if its just one local, what's the special treatment for?

Just make another .req file and rename it to this new class (all_inf_officer) Why take an existing one named something completely ELSE (wok_inf_basic) and insert ur unit name hoping it would work?

On another note, that may not be ur problem. Another problem would be the fact ur custom local is named the same way as a stock (yes, the stock has the same name, which u probably copied from).

Honestly that has given me probs in the past, cus the .LUA automatically assumes ur calling a stock unit over a custom, and with a whacky setup like *wok_inf_basic* as the callsign, the LUAs gonna get confused, and is probably looking for the stock from the all.lvl to call (which is of course, non-existent in ur .odf)

My only advice to u is to rename ur custom side unit (something different, even just *bothan* would be fine) rename a completely different .req for it to reference individually, and see how it works. I doubt there will be a problem then

*and btw, calling from a different side.lvl is a far easier way to summon a stock unit rather than copying ALL the sides into ur folders THEN typing dc:side blabla and at worst just to get the problem u have, if ur just calling a stock unit, you should just call the all.lvl and put the * "all_inf_officer") * part beneath. If u want to change its weapons though, guess side changings the only way, but as mentioned above, use different names*

The name doesn't matter since he's loading it from a custom side, the dc changes the path where the game loads the unit from, if it were names causing the problem then his republic side would be screwed up as well.

@sampip
In your LUA change this: to this: and remove the space before the first parenthesis in the other lines in that section for good measure then double check your side for any other mistakes and go through this tutorial as a refresher:

Ok thanks I'll try them

Well you seem to want about say 20 or more bothans on field at once.

That can be accomplished by reading this topic on getting more units on the field (more than 3)

(you can ignore the part where it says increase ur playable units too)
(but does it do that automatically? can someone verify this?)

I already have that in my .lua
Anyway, thanks to you both, it's working now
