I'm currently trying to homebrew a gunslinger fighter subclass who uses magic bullets and uses the gun as a spellcasting focus. However, I can't seem to add any spells and it always says "You do not have spellcasting or pact magic spells to manage. The spells that appear for your character were gained through other class features, racial traits, feats, or items." Does anyone know how to fix this?
You need to have a subclass feature called Spellcasting. I'd suggest making a copy of the Eldritch Knight subclass to use as a base, or at least to take apart to see how it works.
I added it but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is there anything in the advanced section that I have to add?
You don't need to add anything to the feature called Spellcasting (it must be spelled exactly like that). The subclass needs a YES in 'Can cast spells' and you need to give it a spell list, and select a spellcasting ability. That is all. Then save and wait 15 mins and it should show up on the character sheet. If not, try removing the subclass from the character and selecting it again.
Try attaching a screenshot if you are unable to make it work.

I've put wizard in the "Additional Spell List" part but I don't know where to find the spellcasting feature, nor do I own eldritch knight.
Literally just make one, and call it "Spellcasting".
I don’t have to add anything else?
