trying to create a custom dozer for the Laser general with the SW general power plants and cant figure it out. I have a script under PlyrCivilian

IF
True

'Lazr_AmericaPowerPlant becomes Buildable (No)
'SupW_AmericaPowerPlant' becomes Buildable (Ignore_Prerequisites)
Command Button: "SupW_Command_ConstructAmericaPowerPlant' is added to all objects of type 'Lazr America vehicle dozer' in slot number 1 (1-12)

when I run the game it only blocks out the laser power plant and doesn't add the SW power plant

You can't add a command button on top of an already existing command button. You first need to remove the command button for the laser power plant, make these two scripts:

Script 1
*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
Set timer 'asd' to expire in 0.50 seconds.
Command button: 'Lazr_Command_ConstructAmericaPowerPlant' is removed from all objects of type 'Lazr_AmericaVehicleDozer'.

Script 2
*** IF ***
Timer 'asd' has expired.
*** THEN ***
Command button: 'SupW_Command_ConstructAmericaPowerPlant' is added to all objects of type 'Lazr_AmericaVehicleDozer' in slot number 1 (1-12).

I used two scripts as the game might crash if you remove and add the commandbuttons in one script, although I'm not sure about that, feel free to try it. There are other ways, but this should solve your problem.

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.

This is an example of a broken/glitched version with an invisible character:

This one is fixed:

Your SupW_Command_ConstructAmericaPowerPlant will be bugged this way. When you choose from the drop down list, a glitch puts an invisible character after the t in plant. You need to delete it. Easiest way is to delete the t in plant and then re-type it.
