[Spell] Locust Swarm not working in Burbenog

[AFreerSky]

Hi everyone!

I'm running into some confusion and wonder if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Anytime I have the Stinko Man hero unit use Locust Swarm in any Burbenog map, it makes the noise for Locust Swarm but nothing appears on the screen and nearby enemies are not damaged in any way. I noticed that the ability references an Infernal Dummy with no Art - Model File attached where the Locust unit and model used to be, but obviously changing the Model File to Locust doesn't fix it (thought it might at least make the unit appear physically, but no dice). Can anyone illuminate me on what I'm missing? I've attached a version of a Burbenog map with a Stinko Man unit in Player 1's base so you can test for yourself if you'd like.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Changing the model back to default does make them appear on my end

As for the damage, I bet the problem is this:

The attack is disabled, so the locust can't do damage

A question related to Locust Swarm: why does it not appear on a healing ward (in the UI) when I give it to the healing ward (unit) as an ability?
Obviously I made sure it is a non heroic ability (it works on normal units, just not wards I assume)?

Units with ward classification have their command card fully hidden

This was exactly the issue! I didn't think that so many versions of Burbenog could have the same simple problem, but here we are. For anyone looking to play Burbenog, definitely be on the lookout for this, even in a fresh download!
