If I remember correctly, the tomahawk had an ability where it could fire it's missile, and the missile would follow a series of waypoints to it's target.

Can this be re-enabled?

Need your dozer to build more structures, but they can't all fit in the commandset?

You can easily fix this, with a little bit of commandset switching.

This tutorial will give the American Dozer 2 switchable commandsets.


1st step. Creating the upgrades.

This requires 2 new upgrades. One to move the commandset up, and one to move it back down.

Examples:

;----------------------------
Upgrade Upgrade_USADozerPrimaryCommandSet
  Type			   = OBJECT
  BuildTime		  = 0.0
  BuildCost		  = 0
  ButtonImage		= SUFakeToggle; Replace with downwards arrow cameo for best effect.
End

;----------------------------
Upgrade Upgrade_USADozerSecondaryCommandSet
  Type			   = OBJECT
  BuildTime		  = 0.0
  BuildCost		  = 0
  ButtonImage		= SUFakeToggle; Replace with upwards arrow cameo for best effect.
End

2nd step. Creating the commandsets for the dozer:

All you really need to do is create a new commandset, with a button for the upgrade. See below:

CommandSet AmericaDozerCommandSet; This overwrites the original commandset.
  1  = Command_ConstructAmericaPowerPlant
  2  = Command_ConstructAmericaStrategyCenter
  3  = Command_ConstructAmericaBarracks
  4  = Command_ConstructAmericaSupplyDropZone
  5  = Command_ConstructAmericaSupplyCenter
  6  = Command_ConstructAmericaParticleCannonUplink
  7  = Command_ConstructAmericaPatriotBattery
  8  = Command_ConstructAmericaCommandCenter
  9  = Command_ConstructAmericaFireBase
  11 = Command_ConstructAmericaWarFactory
  12 = Command_ConstructAmericaAirfield
  13 = Command_UpgradeUSADozerSecondaryCommandSet; We add this button, which will upgrade the commandset.
  14 = Command_DisarmMinesAtPosition
End

CommandSet AmericaDozerSecondaryCommandSet
  1  = Command_ConstructAmericaSupplyDropZone
  3  = Command_ConstructAmericaParticleCannonUplink
  5  = Command_ConstructAmericaPatriotBattery
  7  = Command_ConstructAmericaFireBase
  13 = Command_UpgradeUSADozerPrimaryCommandSet;This will change the commandset to the regular one
  14 = Command_DisarmMinesAtPosition
End

3rd step, creating the upgrade buttons:

You need to make 2 buttons which grant the upgrade for the object, in this case, the dozer. Examples:

CommandButton Command_UpgradeUSADozerSecondaryCommandSet
  Command	   = OBJECT_UPGRADE
  Upgrade	   = Upgrade_USADozerSecondaryCommandSet
  TextLabel	 = CONTROLBAR:UpgradeUSADozerSecondaryCommandSet
  ButtonImage   = SUFakeToggle
  ButtonBorderType		= UPGRADE; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel		   = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUpgradeUSADozerSecondaryCommandSet
End

CommandButton Command_UpgradeUSADozerPrimaryCommandSet
  Command	   = OBJECT_UPGRADE
  Upgrade	   = Upgrade_USADozerPrimaryCommandSet
  TextLabel	 = CONTROLBAR:UpgradeUSADozerPrimaryCommandSet
  ButtonImage   = SUFakeToggle
  ButtonBorderType		= UPGRADE; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
  DescriptLabel		   = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUpgradeUSADozerPrimaryCommandSet
End

Now just test it out.

A couple notes:

The AI cannot build the structures in the other commandset via that commandset, so you need to create buttons for those units that only the AI can access.

You can simply copy the button for the building in the secondary commandset, and paste it into the regular commandset. This button has to have a number at least 15 or above.

Lets say you added an Ion Cannon to the secondary commandset. The AI can't build it from there, so you'd add the button to the regular commandset.

CommandSet AmericaDozerCommandSet
  1  = Command_ConstructAmericaPowerPlant
  2  = Command_ConstructAmericaStrategyCenter
  3  = Command_ConstructAmericaBarracks
  4  = Command_ConstructAmericaSupplyDropZone
  5  = Command_ConstructAmericaSupplyCenter
  6  = Command_ConstructAmericaParticleCannonUplink
  7  = Command_ConstructAmericaPatriotBattery
  8  = Command_ConstructAmericaCommandCenter
  9  = Command_ConstructAmericaFireBase
  11 = Command_ConstructAmericaWarFactory
  12 = Command_ConstructAmericaAirfield
  13 = Command_UpgradeUSADozerSecondaryCommandSet
  14 = Command_DisarmMinesAtPosition

  15 = Command_ConstructAmericaIonCannon; Put the button here.
	   ;The bar only has room for 14 buttons, so you won't see it,but the AI can use it.
End
