Of course, you could have included the .slc files properly but the SLIC code itself does not do what you intend it to do. And therefore does not seem to be active in the game. This used to happen to me all the time.

Must the main slic file be declared somewhere? I haven't found any reference to this in the guide.

Yes, in a SLIC file that's already been loaded. Usually this means in either the bottom of script.slc or scenario.slc (the two that are loaded by the default game) you must have the line:

#include "main.slc"

Obviously, replacing main.slc with whatever file name you've given your file.

if you put the code in the file marked scenario then it should work
