I can't get this to work. Help!

This is for the Goblin Blitzer.

I took the Envenomed Spear upgrade and changed it to Increased Charge. I copied all the buffs and the upgrade and the ability and just changed the name and description. I then made it an upgrade for that unit, so it does shock damage over time. It does this fine, but the missle art won't show up. I used the ReplaceableTextures\Weather\Lightning.mdl model for the art in the units missle art tab, but when the upgrade finishes the missle art no longer shows up and there's no sound to the attack, but it still does damage and causes a over time damage effect. Why would it do this?

I haven't dealt with this kinda thing before, so I'm not sure what happened with your upgrade. However, I have an idea that may help.

Make your custom upgrade change the Attacks Allowed for your unit, like, from Attack 1 Only to Attack 2 only. Then, edit your unit to have two attacks that deal the same damage. The first attack would have the projectile art for before you upgrade, and the second projectile art for after you upgrade. It should work. GL

I thought of that but then there is no icon for the ability and it isnt actually an ability.

The problem might be with the model itself. Is that a custom one?(i never look at the paths in the editor) if so try a the far seer's missle(it's lightning like) and if that works then its the Missle Art that is the problem.

Well here's what happened. I changed the missle art of the upgrade to the farseers missle model, and it worked, but the effect no longer took place. By this I mean it was just a regular attack and all that changed was the missle art.

Does anyone know?
