For the first question, you can always use FreeUI !!!

We have support for each entity with Addons, using a sub-menu that contain them.

You can also add researches, or train squads FROM AN ENTITY, with this submenu, not only addons.

 

... But you will have to create a small profile for the race in question.

While it sounds complex, it is actually very easy (if you know what you are doing).

 

 

As for the 2nd question, ... I do not exactly understand what you are trying to achieve...  :p 

Please, elaborate.

Ah, so you're modding DOW2 rather than DOW1?

No, DOW1, but have plans move to DOW2 after unknown people decompile content.bin (without it we can't add new races and new heroes/maps for last stand)

I'm not quite sure, but I see two options:
1. You can create scarbuttons in any place you want (just rewrite taskbar.lua) with scar abilities in them. The only problem that such abilities have no hotkey.
2. You can create an invulnerable dummy entity with no model and global abilities (not sure if global abilities work for anyone except dark eldar) with a scar script that will despawn this entity if it is the only one left on the field under the player command (in case if any wincondition like annihilation, destroy hq or kill commander is off).

I have an idea

 

Combine command icons and upgrades buttons in one "list_commands" taskbar.lua table, but can I move from sub-menu to menu unit researches and addons? If combine I can just on ui_index_hint number over count of CommandIcon_*s, and this addon starts using Upgrade* slots, but for better experience I need this on menu, NO sub-menu

Sorry man, but I am not the guys for such questions...

I only helped (and recoded) the SCaR part of FreeUI, not the Taskbar and the Gamescreen files.

Those are created by brothers Evil Isador and Miros and other coders.

And to be honest, my knowledge on the Taskbar is VERY limited.
