Getting an Actor to show up?

[Bob1897]

Essentially, I am unable to get a units actor to show up as anything other than a sphere. I've followed various tutorials, but they all yield the same result. Here's exactly what I'm doing:

Units Tab>Add Object:

Name: Uber Marine
ID: Uber Marine
Copy From: Marine

Actors Tab>Duplicate Object "Marine"

unitName token: Uber Marine

What is it that I'm doing wrong? If the above explanation wasn't comprehensive enough, my map is open for download below. Thanks,

Bob

The problem is that the actors are assigned to units, not the other way around.

So you have to go to the marine actor, and add your unit.

Tis annoying.

As I already explained, it is assigned to the unit. It simply just will not show up as the correct model. At the moment, the marines are simply circles.

go change the model in the actor to what it should be.

The actor is working fine, just you are referencing a nonsense Uber Marine model...

The token replaces all instances of a name with another, including model paths etc which will not exist usually.

Instead just manually change all references in the actor event fields.

Moved thread to right section.
