Lol. Your favourite general is so blatantly Laser general and not Airforce general. You add lasers to absolutely everything.

Sounds like a typo in one of the unit names.

If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.

You'll love the Laser General in my mod, Generals: Domination. Practically everything will attack with lasers.

Laser-point defense for his aircraft, Laserfinders, Laser Defenders, etc... Heheheheheheheh...

CommandButton AirF_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleHumvee2
  Command       = UNIT_BUILD
  Object        = AirF_AmericaVehicleHumvee2
  TextLabel     = CONTROLBAR:ConstructAmericaVehicleHumvee
  ButtonImage   = SAHummer
  ButtonBorderType        = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel           = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUSABuildHumvee
End

EDIT: Awwww i still cant build it in the War Factory 💀 😒
EDIT2: And also i forgot to ask why is it when i add an custom weapon to an unit and then when i try it out then that unit still uses the default weapon wtf? like when i when i create and put a custom weapon to a Crusader Tank and test it but it still fires the normal bullet.

Try changing a unit's cost and see if that shows up in game.

I think you were meant to check that the price change shows up in game

To be more clear, try changing the cost of something that's already in the game and see if the change takes effect when you start the mod.

You're sure everything's in the right folder, right? The INI folder in your ZH Program Files directory? Can you post a couple screenshots to show?

Just a thought.

You said you created AmericaVehicleHumvee2 in an earlier post, but your command button uses AirF_AmericaVehicleHumvee2. If this is true, then I've found your problem.

http://i.imgur.com/Ubj6OKL.png - I created another Folder which i named Objects and i put there all my custom units,the custom Humvee is in the ModUnits.ini.Though even if i put that directly into the INI folder its still the same,i still can't build it in the war factory.

Its supposed to be calls object not objects
And America vehicle and faction building and any othe ini with objects in should be in that folder
Look at the original file path for each ini that should tell you where to put each of the original files you have modded

EDIT: LOL i put all the necessary files in the Object folder and NOW it works 😁 👍 Also now my custom units such as laser humvee,A10 Thunderbolt and my new General is now working perfectly(though i still have alot of work left to do with the new General) but anyways all my problems are solved 👍
EDIT2: Though im wondering why does my custom general appears in the selection(where you select what side you are in skirmish) it apears **MISSING** in the start of the name,how do i remove that?

AmericaVehicle, FactionBuilding, and AirforceGeneral .ini's are supposed to go in the "Objects" folder. Putting them in the wrong spot results in them doing nothing at all (or I thought a crash, but you haven't said that's happening to you).

An attack type? If you're referring to the things in all caps, like "POISON, RADIATION, LASER, BURNING, SMALL_ARMS" I wouldn't think so. Most of the stuff in all caps like that is hardcoded and not accessible through .ini coding.
However, i've never actually tried to create a new damage or attack type, so I'm not completely sure.
