Doodad Model Issue

[Tiucaner]

I made a doodad with the model from the scout tower, however it repeatedly keeps changing to the guard, cannon, arcane and back to scout, over and over again. i just want it to stay as a scout tower, how do i fix this?

Well that's obviously the weirdest thing I've ever heard. Is it a custom model? If it's not then I have absolutely no idea what might be causing that (if I rule out triggers). It would be awesome if you post that map (or try to reproduce that bug in another map) so we can all witness that phenomena?

Doodads play animations. Try making it a destructible instead.

Make the following trigger to solve the problem!

Event:
Map Initialization

Conditions:
None

Actions:
Destructible - Play destructibles stand first (or something like that) animation

or make it to be unselectable unit (0 selection scale) and use play animation.

heres the map, hope it helps

Okay, you cant make destructibles or doodads to play animations and they automatically loop some animation, because Scout Tower, Guard Tower, Cannon Tower and Arcane Tower use the same model, but different animations.

So you have to create a new unit that looks like your tower and set it's selection scale to 0.00, remove it's pathing and give it an invulnerability and make sure that in object editor the "art - required animation names" field is empty.

that doesnt work cause i wont be able to put archers n the towers like i did on the walls

 

[Super-Sheep]

You can make archers to be flying units with no movement speed, so they would just stand still and shoot.
