Can't figure out what's wrong here. 
Any help? 

GrabberG2Adder IS being put into a PRPL core. 
GrabberG2 IS being placed. 
RotatingParticleMaker/ShipModule core IS appearing 
ShipModule IS tracing "Ship construction built" or whatever 
RotatingParticleMaker is NOT tracing "Hmm...(0)", which occurs after ANY code appears. 
 
PassiveParticleMaker is an artifact.

Edit: probably a good idea to put the attachments on...
To use [OUR] Custom Modules, go to Forums/Knuckle Cracker/PFE/Map Makers, Ship Builders, and Coders, Go to the pinned posts, find the one named "Custom Modules Thread", Open it, Scroll down until you find ShipModule, Apply that into your map, do not apply it into map if one copy already exists, Apply the Adder script (Sometimes named "Master.prpl, sometimes [shipname]Adder, etc.) and the actual used scripts [which i will state in my posts]. If one copy already exists, do not apply another copy. -The CMC :-)

"RotatingParticleMaker is NOT tracing"
There was a syntax error in rotating particle emmiters:

0 -> dir1
PI -> dir2 
PI 2 div -> ampDir1
<-ampDir1 3 mul -> ampDir2

You have to write the variable name together with the arrow, like this: ->dir1
But you should see so when you hit "Compile". Are you editing the right file? also, after fixinx this obvious syntax error, I see the "Hmm...(0)" message jsut fine.
Why do work yourself, when you can write a program that will do the work for you.
