How to make a unit's ranged projectile work

[sethmachine]

Hi,

I copy pasted a custom unit which had a custom ranged projectile (a flying sheep that has a ranged attack which is the same as the Faerie Dragon's, i.e. for its attack it shoots yellow rays of light).

But the copy pasted unit, which had the same exact values for projectile art, etc. did not use the projectile. It just launched nothing and made no sound when attacking units.

What did I do wrong?

Make sure you downloaded the projectile data the right way. Make sure nothing is corrupted. Try it on another unit and see what happens. Try each of the commands and see if something got messed up that way.

What do you mean downloaded? Anyway here's what the data looks like--is anything done wrong?

Ooo i thought you were talking about a custom model.

Any idea what the issue is--I think I filled out the fields correctly to make this unit's attack a ranged projectile/missile.

It might be Animation Damage Point.

That's strange. Are you sure you didn't modify anything in pasted unit's data?
Else if you could upload the map with the unit, it may simplify finding the problem.

Maybe the sheep didn't use an attack index, or didn't attack at all.

Well for whatever reason it started randomly working. Odd but at least it's working now.

maybe you forgot to save? or played a not-saved version

Well it couldn't have been that because the unit didn't exist before then (I copy and pasted a previous unit who already had its ranged projectile working). Perhaps it was something wrong with my display or loading.
