UnitCreate for new PC Soldiers

[Deranged Imp]

I'm having some difficulty using UnitCreate to generate some new characters that I've generated in a mod via the console in-game. I've got all the syntax down, I think:

 

@local unit = CreateUnit ( 1000004 , 0 , "Test" , "Unit1_la" , 1 )

 

When I use this nothing appears, however when I use Axel's npersID (3) he will appear just fine. I don't have a lot in the way of scripting knowledge, but could "local unit" be the issue here? If I've made the character in a mod and activated it via the custom game menu?

 

If anyone could offer insight on this I'd be grateful.
