Spawning Squads from Emplacements

Hi, everyone- I'm trying to spawn a squad from an emplacement, but I can't get it to work. Some details:

-Emplacement is set up as as squad, technically a team weapon. Like the Bofors.
-The squad's construction bar fills up, then the bar stays full and the squad does not spawn. This is still true when off-map spawn is selected.
-The emplacement has a "stop" command option. Not sure if this is related to the issue.
-This emplacement is capable of reinforcing already, but maybe there's an entity-related limitation on what can spawn squads? It uses the British Bren Rack entity.

Thank you!

Could it be related to requirements or popcap from the spawned squad? Or the requirements in spawner_ext?
Have you tried the same spawn from a different structure?
The stop command becomes visible when the entity has moving_ext, that cannot be related.

How does the emplacement look like, is the rack surrounded by objects with an impass?

Those are good ideas- I should have mentioned that the squad does work from other structures, and multiple squads have not worked from the emplacement.

I believe it uses a construction state for the weapon pile to not appear, but the camo-netting tent part is there. Underneath, there's a visual-only OKW medkit stack, not a part of the squad, though. I thought I had removed the impass from it, but that sounds like it's worth checking. Thanks!
