Hello there whoever reads this,

I am creating a 3rd side and ive created the power plant and Tiberium Refinery so far, but the thing is... the power plant appears shaded in Nod and GDI teams to! it works in 3rd side but is shaded in GDI and Nod toolbar. what should i do?

Alright, as example:

3rd side owner: CABAL
3rd side ConYard: CACNST
3rd side Power Plant: CAPOWR

[CACNST]
Owner=CABAL,Civilian

[CAPOWR]
Owner=CABAL,Civilian
Prerequisite=CACNST

Two things have got to be kept in mind when coding buildings for the 3rd side:

1) make sure that TechLevel=1 buildings have CACNST added to their Prerequisite= list, else GDI and Nod will also be able to build them (the greyed-out icons showing up in their sidebars)

2) all buildings for the 3rd side need two owners - the 3rd side (CABAL in this case), as well as a dummy owner (Civilian in this case, or even Special).

the "Civilian" in front of your third side faction allows your building to be built for the faction you have, got it buddy!

I have added CABAL,Special... it is buildable for CABAL but appears in the Nod and GDI siderbar somewhat shaded.

Post the code for the new house, the new conyard, and the new power plant.

For CAAPWR, the line:
Prerequisite=CACNST
needs to start with a capital letter.

Take it as the very first thing you learn about modding TS - always ALWAYS make sure your new code looks EXACTLY like the old code. Don't get lazy and start dropping off the case sensitive lettering.

How is your 3rd side progressing otherwise?

Team leader...? What team, and what are you guys working on? Can you give any details on the extra side(s) you are adding?

As written above, the game is Case Sensitive.
If you write in the Houses section "Forgotten" and on the Owner keys "FORGOTTEN", the game sees these two words as two completely different strings.

i did that and that doesn't solve it and actually when i add Prerequisite=FACNST to [FAPOWR] it doesn't show up at all and when i don't add it then the power plant is greyed out and unclicable
