Summary0002503: (master) unit scripts does not work on startunits, works on units created later
Descriptiongame: spring tanks RC5.2
map: any of those: http://springrts.com/wiki/Spring_Tanks#The_Maps

If you start via spring.exe or the SP menu, you will notice no units scripts seem to be loaded.
units do not turn their wheels, aim or fire.
if you do
/cheat
/give tptaktak
then this unit will work.
If you selfdestruct a unit and wait for a replacement to spawn, this unit will also work.
after /luar rules reload, all units will work.

The start units are created in gadgets\tp_startbase_spawn.lua

Now thinking about it, it might be because I create the units on
function gadget:Initialize()
instead of
function gadget:GameStart()
?
I do this so that you can already see the units even if the game is not yet started. (ie other players are still loading)
That works in current.

1+2 units created by gadgets\tp_startbase_spawn.lua - do not work
(notice the extra parts on the "ice cone" thing are not hidden and the tank has no tracks)

3+4 the same unit types created with /cheat /give - works

5 unit spawned by tp_gamelogic.lua after game was running for some time - works

 can somebody please change the title to say master or 0.83?

Tested a bit and it seems that using UnitCreate in
function gadget:Initialize()
indeed results in a unit without working unit script.

 The Lua unit-script gadgets are themselves loaded from unit_script.lua::gadget:Initialize, which possibly runs BEFORE your spawn-gadget's Initialize ==> your units won't work because they do not exist yet at that point.


[f=0000000] Loading gadget: Lua unit script framework <unit_script.lua>
...
[f=0000000] Loading unit script: scripts/tplegocar.lua
...
[f=0000000] Loaded gadget: Lua unit script framework <unit_script.lua>
[f=0000000] Loaded gadget: Spring Tanks | Start Point Remover Gadget <init_start_point_remover_gadget.lua>

[f=0000000] Loaded gadget: base spawner <tp_startbase_spawn.lua>

 in my spawn gadget i changed
layer = 0,
to
layer = 9000,
which fixed it.

 Unit script gadget is also layer 0 (they are loaded alphabetically within layers) so layer 1 is sufficient ;)

 the example gadget
https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/master/cont/base/springcontent/LuaGadgets/Gadgets/game_spawn.lua
is layer=0, too.
It probally still works because it uses function gadget:GameStart() but maybe it should still be changed to something "higher" that unit_script, ie layer=1

 as before: change the layer in which your gadget(s) live(s) to a number > 0, there is not much else we can do
