I'm using a republic commando in both hero assault and conquest but i want the unit to have unlock points in conquest but not in assault. is this possible without making two totally different units with different names???

no, but you can simply create a new "unit" with nothing in the odf but the unlockable points ad make it parent of the unit without unlock points, for assault you load the normal unit, for conquest the unlockable parent

You can use the same unit. You just change "PointsToUnlock" with SetClassProperty() in whichever mode needs the new point value.

so all i need is an odf and no reqs, msh's or tga files?????
say the original odf is rep_inf_scorch_commando, i could just create another one could rep_inf_scorch_points, or somethin like that. seeing as i'm not to experienced with odf editing and modding in general, would the odf go like this???:
[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "rep_inf_scorch_commando"

[Properties]
PointsToUnlock =12
this is all based on the default commando odf....

what would i write there??? Would that work???

I'm assuming that the ODF already has PointsToUnlock in it, so in this case, you can just set it equal to 0 in the assault Lua script.
