Sometimes in my current map (has happened on other ones in the past as well) weird things such as building foundation or other parts of models get attached to units. I think it has something to do with imported models but no clue exactly what. Does antibody know how to fix this?

Hmmm, only two options I guess..... you have a broken model or skin or most probably you insert both a skin and a model into it. If you insert a model in a unit with a skin. It will change its appearance but still retaining the skin and so it will get mixed up. So I suggest either remove skin or model, the best solution.

Do you mean the broken model/skin will have the issues or be the one that gets attached on other models? Because those things get attached even on original warcraft models with no skin changed.

I guess so cause I've never seen it on maps with no imported things. On this map I think I've noticed it only with building foundations (the part that is mostly visible on rough/angled terrain) becoming attached to units, possibly when the building was destroyed.

I found the model that was causing it. It's shame it was the nice house from Murloc expansion project in Xgm.ru is was using as a Greco-roman farm. Thread can be closed I guess. Thanks for the help:)

Yeah this should be the case. It's foundation bounced on hand attachments (i think) of a unit from the destroying group (probably the killing unit) for a few seconds before disappearing.
