[Solved] Hyperion's Warp-jump (blink) ability can't get animation to work right

[NotSoLoneWolf]

So... i am trying to recreate the warpjump blink-like ability that you can use in the Heart of the Swarm campaign, in the mission With "Friends Like These...", and to do that i needed to use triggers. i copied them exactly from the campaign mission, and the ability from the Hyperion unit.
before i figured out that i needed to use triggers, the hyperion would just pop out of existience without playing the entering warpspace animation, and then play the exiting warpspace animation at a point somewhere near where i targetted.
when i put in the triggers, it entered warpspace, then popped into existience at the targetted point without playing the warpspace exit animation. I put a "attach model to unit" action in and it worked, except that the battlecruiser popped into existience and then the animation played ontop of it. since i cannot leave a non-perfect thing be, i banged my head against the wall for a little bit and then put a Hide Unit action in at the Prep stage and a Show Unit action after the Attach Model.
it made the battlecruiser warp pretty much randomly/inaccurately. i tinkered with it for a bit and when i put the Hide Unit in the Cast stage of the ability, it jumped to the location i wanted it to.
however the Show Unit action didnt wait for the model to finish playing, so i was right back where i started. i thought "simple!" and i put a Wait for 0.9 Game Time Seconds (because thats how long the animation was) action. then the cattle bruiser was warping randomly again

any ideas? pictures of my triggers and the ability (and its fields) are in the attachments

Sounds like you the warp out actor is not attached via appropriate events to the duplicate ability.

I tried to duplicate the Warp Out actor, named it Warp In (just for reference Warp In means warping into realspace from warpspace, not the other way around) and assigned it the correct model, but it didnt rotate the animation to line up with the target, and it didnt fix the fact that it was warping into itself. basically i got a better result using the trigger to activate the model at this point, even if it either warps into itself or warps randomly. I just deleted the Wait 0.9 Seconds action so it would at least work as intended, albeit with crappy animations.

You need to modify the actor events. Actor events control when they are created and what they do in response to certain deterministic stimuli or even non deterministic stimuli. If you blindly copy stuff the data references will be wrong.

For example copying some actors will result in two actors being created when the original unit does something yet none for the copy because the copied actors still reference the original unit. You need to make sure all your actors link appropriately.

i tried that already, but to no avail. do you know exactly what events i need to modify? i was kinda running blind last time.
