I can't seem to get the hang of customizing agencies.

[dpaul 1]

Since yesterday, I've been trying to add a new child agency for SAHP.
What I want to do is to add in a car for SAHP and have them spawn under a separate backup option, because I don't want only bikes for them. I already got the pack and meta files under police8, police9, police10
In an attempt to have 2 different backup options, one for only the bike and one for the cars, I tried creating a new child agency which has so far failed, I tried to copy some of the lines in sahp and lspd_swat
Each time I test it out, the "Motor unit" is the only one that shows up. I haven't edited any other XML files as I don't think they are relevant to what I'm trying to do. 
Can anyone help me?

Hi there,

You need to create the new option in the agency.xml file under the parent SAHP agency. I've made an example below which can be placed in the SAHP agency along with the motor unit which is already in the file. The ped tag can be changed to whichever model you are using, e.g if you want the same as the motor unit then copy that ped.
