Is there a forum I can go to for modding help?

I can suggest this one:
The Best Zero Hour Modding Web Site Ever Made (shortly: TBZHMWSEM)

wow, that was a little cold Creator... but absolutely right.

"Modding" isn't a simple task you can make a real tutorial for. It's a combination of hundreds, or even thousands of smaller tasks, and the most valuable skill a modder can have is the drive to find his own answers and then follow up with some trial and error. 15 minutes on google can find you a wide range of tutorials... given that any mod project is going to run you hundreds of hours in labor, those 15 minutes shouldn't be a roadblock to you.

I could teach you how to copy paste an old unit into a the code, and how to add the buttons to make it available, and I could teach you how to use each of the several hundred behavior modules, but I could never teach you "how to mod". Once you find some of the basics and learn the right questions other modders will take your inquiries more seriously.

Thanks:) when i said 'how to mod' i meant it generally (as in a website with tutorials for all the little things). is there a q & a I can go to for those tasks you mentioned? Specifically (at the mo) giving abilities to other units- making burtons charges do emp and damage When detonated and disable the building they are planted on. Ive tried making a new weapon, but it still plants c4 charges.:(

EDIT: done.
