Yepper! I need a jump off point for creating one, and Im not to great at programming. Just some basic templates would be great if youve got any. Thanks!

Well the #1 problem with that idea is currently to my knowledge there is no mouse picking in the engine. Thus no way to get a mouse cursor that you can move around to select various units or vehicles, etc.

So it would require some actual programming to complete. If it's your first project as well you might want to take a step back and try something simpler.

There are a few commands to control the mouse including picking:

Thanks, that should definatly help. While this is not my first ever project, it is my first project working with reality factory. I have used 3D Gamestudio with its sample RTS scripts and had a great time messin around. Im basically trying to do the same thing here. By any chance, are there any scripts for units that would go where the mouse is clicked? If not, dont worry about it; Im not askin you to write any, just direct me to some. Thanks.
