Hello for a second time today and Happy New Year.
I made a custom unit (e.g. Rifleman) and in the Art-Special field I deleted everything.
However when this unit dies by a Mortar Team or a Demolisher he just dissapears.
I want the unit to die(death animation) not to splash or vanish.
Please help.

Only two things you can do:
- create a special effect using the rifleman model when it dies and destroy it immediately
- set the art - special field to the rifleman's model, it will delay about 0.5 seconds before playing its death animation though.

Either way, artillery makes units explode, leaving no corpses.

If you want to try a more complex method, you can use a damage detection system to detect when a unit is about to die from artillery and deal damage to the unit normally.
