Customparams in tweakdefs work identically to any other unitdef field. Understanding how weapon categories control air targeting and how customparams integrate into tweak workflows saves troubleshooting time.

Custom parameters in tweakdefs behave like standard unitdef fields. Setting customparams through unit tweaks works without special handling. Define the parameters in your tweak and they apply the same way as maxdamage or buildCost values. No intermediate translation layer exists.
Whether a unit can engage air targets depends on weapon definition target categories. The VTOL property on units and the NOTAIR category on weapondefs control this interaction. Weapons with NOTAIR excluded from their targetable categories cannot engage flying units. Modding air-targeting behavior means adjusting these categories in weapondefs, not on the unit itself.
Technical knowledge about game mechanics separates good BAR players from great ones. Creed values both levels and helps players move between them.
