Help with creating a unique unit

[Afforess]

I am creating a new civilization (module), but I need help with the Unique Unit. I am replacing the "Jet Fighter" with the "Skeltrast." First off, I get the unit to appear, but it cannot do anything, no mission, attack, patrol buttons, and the civ entry is empty. Can someone look at my files and see what is wrong? Also, is it possible to have a fighter attack and KILL land units?

Thanks.

In your code you have <Combat\>
But the Jet Fighter has <Combat>UNITCOMBAT_AIR</Combat>

If this doesn't work I'll have another look

I changed that line of coding, but when I load it, I get this error:

Did you have it this way?
<Combat>UNITCOMBAT_AIR</Combat>

You'd rather copy-and-paste the node of the unit you want to replace, and change its Unit Name. This way, you don't have to remember to set all its attributes properly, and you only have to modify what you want to be different from the base unit.

Try putting this into BasicInfos\Civ4UnitCombatInfos.xml

<UnitCombatInfo>
<Type>UNITCOMBAT_AIR</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_UNITCOMBAT_AIR</Description>
<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Promotions/Naval_Units.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Beyond_the_Sword_Atlas.dds,6,15</Button>
</UnitCombatInfo>

I should have told you, its my fault. I am making this module for Rise of Mankind (mod). I figured out the problem from your suggestion in the basicinfos. The combat_air had been replaced by other, more specific ones. I fixed that part. The mod will load the module without any error messages, however the unit still has no civilopedia entry and cannot move, recon attack etc. (The buttons for such orders do not exist.) What else is wrong? (The Skeltrast file has been updated to reflect my changes.)

i've had a look but can't find anything. To be honest I don't have much experience, the first couple of problems I had myself in my mod.
