I've been working on a project with custom sides and everything was going fine and dandy, I was adding my eighth Rebel Unit, I create him, go through the motions of creating a custom unit and go to play. Boom, a crash. Since then I have clean munged and manual cleaned. I took out the unit and everything worked fine. With him ingame, it's not working at all, it crashes after loading. I have no clue why this is not working, there are no sev 3 errors in my log. Please help.

This. You can't just make up class types; you have to use a class type that already exists in the setup_teams script. For example, you'd open up setup_teams.lua and add the desired class to typeList.

Here's my mod's setup_teams script for a reference.

setup_teams.lua wrote:-- list of types
local typeList = { "soldier", "assault", "sniper", "engineer", "adept", "sentinel", "vanguard", "shock", "destroyer", "prime", "support", "scion" }

Or, alternatively, you could just go with AddUnitClass(), like such:

It's in the setup teams function, I used it for other sides for this mod as well.

Have you tried adding to the other side? If your setup teams is looking for a class named custom and it isn't defined for one side, it could be crashing your map.

That is false. Doing that is unnecessary. If anything, it forces the game to look for a nonexistent unit.

Really? Oops. Ignore my post then.
