Welcome to the forum!

All buidlings are located in the category tab 'ebps'. The M1919 LMG weapon rack is: ebps\races\aef\buildings\weapon_racks\aef_weapon_rack_m1919_lmg

It currently has the requirement to select a specific commander. This requirement is located in slotitem_ext\pickup_requirements\2. required_any_in_list\requirements\1. required_player_upgrade.

The upgrade name is the passive of the commander. This can be changed to the weapon rack upgrade from hq: 'upgrade\aef\research\weapon_rack_upgrade_mp'.

The cost is located in slotitem_ext\unlimited_option\item_cost.

Final batch (hopefully):

Got it

This commander ability has 3 parts. One visible passive icon in the center of your screen, one invisible upgrade which is required by your squads and the ability on your squad itself.

These are the 3 files:
1. The visible passive icon:
abilities/german/modal_ability/commander_ability/passive_ability/ambush_camouflage_unlock
2. The invisible required upgrade:
upgrade/german/commander/passive/ambush_camouflage
3. The ability on the squad:
abilities/german/always_on_ability/commander_ability/ambush_camouflage_upgrade

The upgrade (number 2) is automatically added when the corresponding commander is selected. You cannot change that. This upgrade is used to show the two abilties.

To make your ability work, you need to clone the ability (number 3) and remove the 'required_player_upgrade' in 'requirements'. This requirement pointed to the upgrade (number 2)

If you want to remove the visible passive icon when you choose the commander, then delete the passive ability (number 1) from 'abilities' in 'army/german'.

Most of the commander abilities are implemented like this, which can cause a lot of confusion. Hopefully this will help you to understand them a bit more.

In the category 'ebps',
halftrack_sdkfz_251_mp > spawner_ext > reinforce_requirements:

Remove the required_entity_upgrade.

FYI:
Guards have 4 weapon slots. 2 are consumed with the PTRS rifles and the other 2 are available for the DP-28 upgrade or weapons from the ground.

If they spawn without PTRS rifles, then they can take 4 weapons of choice which can cause all kind of balance issues.
