Hi Joey! This is the file i was talking about with you. I started it off with everything I wanted changed in 1 script per faction. Then (I only got to USA) separated it into individual scripts. The file contains the USA full script if needed. And to test the map (BTW it's an AoD), set a computer player to GLA. [ATTACH]606[/Attach]

[quote]in this code you are trying to add command buttons to a specific building,this requieres an ini[/quote] No it doesn't, see this thread: http://www.cnclabs.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=8971 EDIT Summary: The ability to add command buttons has a bug. All entries in the drop down have an additional character (invisible in most PCs, a square in others) that are on the end and shouldn't be there. Remove this character & the code will work. To delete this character, put your cursor at the end of the word and press backspace. Then replace any letters that you deleted. When you're done, in the Edit Action window, it should look something like this: [code] Command button: 'AirF_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleChinook' is added to all objects of type 'ChinaSupplyCenter' in slot number 3 (1-12).[/code] NOT this: [code] Command button: 'AirF_Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleChinook ' is added to all objects of type 'ChinaSupplyCenter' in slot number 3 (1-12).)[/code] This is extremely hard to explain, but I'm hoping everyone can understand.
