if I wanted to add a unit to the engineer list of creatable units, what code do I use? Thanks

If you look at your mod it adjusts the units.js file to add itself to the list of units that can be built. It adds a new function that looks something like newCreateUnit( typeString ) that will call the old function oldCreateUnitFunc( typeString ) and see if a unit was created. You can check the typeString that is passed in and if it is "Engineer" then the unit that oldCreateUnitFunc returns is the engineer that will get passed back to Pocket War. Now you just need to adjust that unit.
You can call
var transTypes = getTransportTypes( unit );
which will give you a string with all the types the engineer can carry. Then you can append your own unit to the end of that list.
transTypes = transTypes + "-MyUnitName";
Notice the "-" that is used as a seperator. That call will let the engineer carry your unit now you have to add a call to let the engineer build your unit.
var buildTypes = getBuild( unit );
buildType = buildTypes + "-MyUnitName";
And that will do it. Now when that engineer unit gets passed back to Pocket War it will be able to build your unit as well.

Itried this by pasting your code and changing -myunitname to the correct one. However, I just get errors. Please explain more detailed of what I need to do. Thanks

If you get the humvee mod in mod-humvee-unit.js you can see the line that allows transports to transport the humvee. It looks like
setTransport( unit, getStat( unit, "max transport" ), getTransportTypes( unit ) + "-Humvee" );
In your mod you would want to do the same thing but for engineers and you want to make the engineer be able to build it. The code would look like the following
if( typeString == "Engineer" )
{
setTransport( unit, getStat( unit, "max transport" ), getTransportTypes( unit ) + "-Humvee" );
getBuild( unit, getBuild() + "-Humvee" );
}
But you would want to change Humvee for your unit name. Case matters watch those lower and uppercase letters.

AHHH I am pulling out my hair! I just keep getting errors. Where do I put the code? It keeps telling me :
SCRIPT: Santax error in call to tile 'string getBuild( tile tileWhoseListToGet)'
then
SCRIPT -- createUnit failed to create a Engineer
What is going on?

zip up your mod and post hit here and I will take a look at it. That is probably the easiest way for me to figure out what is going on.

Thanks! I ask the questions because I also wanted to learn so I could be a better scripter. Hope you don't mind. Thanks again! I look forward to seeing what you do.
ps. the one i am posting is the working one, it just need the proper code to add to the engineer

Sorry there was typo in my code above. Here is a version of your float cannon that will work. Take a look at the bottom of the newCreateUnit method and you can see the codes that was needed to allow engineers to build this unit.
