Hi, I have units in my mod using builtInWeaponSets. When the unit was killed, it drops no loot. Only when it was stunted, then the loot it carries was dropped. Is this an intended feature that the unit dropped no loot unless it is stunted?

No, such weapons should be dropped normally.

Check if they're not marked as built-in weapons.

I assume built-in weapons as weapons or items having   

fixedWeapon: true?

I don't have anything like this in the code for my items or weapons that's included within the builtInWeaponSets for my units.

Can you paste your code? It's hard to think of what could have gone wrong, because anything could have gone wrong. :)

    data:
      - alienRank: 0
        lowQty: 1
        highQty: 1

        percentageOutsideUfo: 50
        itemSets:
          -
            []
          -
            []
          -
            []
    width: 90
    length: 90
    height: 9
alienRaces:
  - id: STR_CIVILIANGROUP
    membersRandom:
      - [STR_POLICE_MALE]

There is a strong and specific reason that I did not include any weapons in the itemset for the small scout's alien deployment. I strongly wanting to use the unit's builtInWeaponSets to replace the itemset. The primary reason is because I wish to utilize the memberRandom feature in the alienRaces to the fullest, by having a lot of random units with their own builtInWeaponSets.  So I can have unpredictable encounters whenever a small scout is shot down.

My main problem is, if the enemy unit was stunted, all its items were recoverable.  If the unit was killed, all its items are missing but its corpse.

Just to be sure.

While testing you did not accidentally had the "Alien weapons self-destruct" set (see attached screenclip)?

I can confirm that option was enable. It is the source of my ills. Thanks for the help everyone.
