It's a nice model, but first of all:
*Attach the lightings to bones, and set the bones' billboarding properties to "lock z". This way they will be billborded at the z-axis.

*Add some movement to the lightings.
A texture animation would be best, and you could propably do it in magos with little effort.
Just animating the lightings is also an ok idea, maybe make 2-3 different lighting modls and show/hide them systematically.

EDIT: Sorry! I noticed you do have texture animations, BUT: magos is bugged and does not properly attatch the animation to the material.
What you have to do is to convert the model into .mdl, then add the texture animation reference to the material manualy.

The WE crashs everytime i try to see the model on a unit...I tryed to reupload it, or to reboot the editor, nothing more...It continues to crash. It's the first time i get this kind of problem with a model, and i think it has a little problem :con:

Same problem, only the Acid Lab works. The Lightning, Water, and Wall doesn't.
Here are the pictures of the Lightning Generator problem, but the Wall and Water do the same thing.
