            ok got it thanks...I actually launched in game and it works....however I have another question......to save time, is it possible to copy an entire map that another author made and make these simple additions to it and save it and upload it as my own without issue?

            I dont want to recreate the entire map just to add a few small changes......what is the process?

            Finally, I want to add a large T4 Wreck to fight over on an area of the map, I believe this is a Prop you need to load and brush onto the map? I didnt see anything T4 related under resources wreckage to add to a map??? Am I missing something

              you can't do that without getting permission from the map author

                  If I get the permission from the author that designed the map, what is the process? Or would i need to rebuild his entire map again as my NEW map?

                  When you say Wreckage needs to be in a new group called Wreckage, is that the same section where the Enemy 17 and Civilain groups aleardy ....so I just add the Wreckage group there and drag a T4 unit to group and it will start wrecked?

                    you need to contact the map maker and ask what map is your looking at?
