I have used that tut before to add direct fire, and it works; So you must be doing something wrong on your end.

It's not a path you have to create! In a squad file for example grenadier_squad.rgd there's a "squad_abilty_ext".

thats correct but most vehicles dont have the  squad_ability_ext for example m8 greyhound and is 2 dont have it while kv-1 has it for some reason.

Then just copy/paste one and clean it. Some units don't have it because it is not needed.
