Hi Anthony,
Jason is right. For adding the C4 terms for multiple ion types, you need to specify them with one single add12_6_4 command, as specified in the Usage term 1 of the add12_6_4 command in the Page 253 of the AMBER 2017 manual: http://ambermd.org/doc12/Amber17.pdf <http://ambermd.org/doc12/Amber17.pdf>.
Kind regards,
Pengfei
