so im making maps( as ussuall) and would like to
be able to place custom vehicles. when i tried, they didn't
appear. i tried to place rep_fly_gunship_cw from the
clone wars assets pack. i also would like to know
how to use player models like: commander cody. and changing
the weapons would be VERY cool.

The answer to all of your questions can be found in
The FAQ / Everything You Need Thread, which is stickied at the top of the SWBF2 modding forum, and the documentation shipped with the SWBF2 modtools, both of which provide information and tutorials on how to: make a map, make a custom side, spawn vehicles, edit ODFs, and many more.

I don't want to make my own side, just use other people's player models.
Like just using clone assassin on the republic side, not using clone assassin as
it's own side. And what I want can NOT be found in the all you need to know thread.
I checked and double-checked, so i know.

That
is making your own side (or editing a side), and there
are plenty good tutorials for that. You won't need to make an entirely new side, but those tuts'll tell ya how to edit stock ones too.
I'm sorry I can't link you to a tut topic (using wii opera browser here), but I'm sure you'll manage find one

Get the one on making a custom side. The Clone Assasin already comes set up as it's own side, so just make sure to read it in the LUA for the Republic side under the SetupTeams section. If you read the tutorial, you'll know what I mean by the SetupTeams section.

So clone assassin already comes with it's own side? I just put it in SetupTeams in my .lua?
Oh and so Caleb's making you own side will help? Whan i tried, all i managed to do was delete
clone commander. Is placing custom vehicles easier?

Yes. To both.
Note that you'll need to load the assassin both in SetupTeams and ReadDataFile("DC:SIDE\rep.lvl",. Again, if you look at the tutorials you'll know what I mean.

What you are asking is covered in the Getting_Started.doc, one of the first documents you must definately read before starting to mod SWBFII. It can be found in the BF2_ModTools\documentation folder.

Well, a good start would be to read the Getting Started docs carefully.

It dosn't say a thing about custom vehicles.

Where is your reasoning? In order to add a custom vehicle, you would need to make a custom side for it. Then set up a proper vehicle spawn in ZE (it tells you how in the Getting_Started.doc) for this custom vehicle and edit your LUA to load your custom vehicle.

But you could've read that in the docs. It's usually better to search for things yourself, instead of asking for a clear-cut answer. It always makes you remember something better.
