This vessel has no remote controller or command module or something

[sketcherskt]

it keeps giving me this message when I clearly have a command and it wont let me press t or r if I choose to launch anyway I am wondering why its giving me this message.

Please tell us which command pod you are using? At least one of them does not support SAS (the Staputnik), so you can't press T. R only applies of you have reaction control thrusters on your spacecraft.

You also need to put Kerbals in your command pod.

Screenshot would be helpful.
What control pod are you using?

Assuming it's a command pod, and not a probe core (which has no space for Jebs fat ass).

Do you have one or more of:
- A probe core;
- A command pod or cockpit with a Kerbal inside it?

If no, then you have no means of controlling the vessel. Attach a probe core or command pod/cockpit with a Kerbal inside it and you'll have control. You'll probably notice that the little probe icon in the top left of the screen is red, meaning no control.

Also check that your probe core is switched on (i.e. not in hibernate mode) and has power or it won't work at all. SAS only works if you have a probe core equipped with SAS (every probe core except the Stayputnik has it), or a Kerbal pilot in a command pod/cockpit; scientists and engineers can't do SAS and a pilot in a passenger cabin is no use either.

did you place your command mod first when building if not break it down a bit in chunks and see which one is your driving. or you can root your command mod. to make it primary.

I dont know the interesting thing is when I rebuilt it it worked. it might of been one of the reasons listed on here so thanks for explaining everyone.
