Ability not showing up

from Sins Forums
Made a new ability, it's not showing up, added as an ability on the scout so I assume it's a problem with the ability itself? Here goes;

Having just tested my first guess, The only issue with the ability you posted above is the weapon effect, i dont know what in your weapon effect (i dont have much luck with them). but if you replace the weaponeffect you listed with the default ionblast one the ability shows up.

Yeah, but then it's exactly the same as Ion Blast. :/

Which ability did you replaced with your own? Just because i see... the maximum number of abilities are 4/class.
