If this was posted in the wrong place, I apologize.
A while back in the general modding questions thread, I tried to make a missile weapon that would be able to target and track enemy missiles, fly near them and release a bunch of flares. However if I used both the MIRV scripting and Point Defense rules, the mirv missile will not fire nor track incoming enemy missiles. I was told that I would need to build a custom script to do this, but PD missiles works and MIRV missiles work, but when combined, PD MIRV missiles do not work.
Here is the line in the csv:
Ember Missile Rack,ember_rack,1,300,1000,,200,,10,5,6,30,0.2,,ENERGY,0,,0,2,1,,0,0,0,0,,900,100,6,35,"PD,DO_NOT_AIM",9
Here is the weapon I was using:

Here is the initial projectile:

And I just used the flare_standard.proj as the submunition I copied from the vanilla data folder(along with the graphics needed to run it)
