Using custom trees

[darwin]

I downloaded a nice barrens tree model from the ultimate terrainers map. I imported it into my campaign. I then made a new destructible based on the Fall Tree Wall, changed Model Variations to 1, and assigned it the new model. When I place it in the editor it looks just fine, but when I play the campaign the trees are invisible. Their shadows are still in the game, but the tree is nowhere.

I've downloaded another model and tried the same thing, but it had the same results. The .blps are all uploaded and in the right place (after all, I can see it in the editor). Does anyone know what this might be?

Yeah I have the same problem.
They do show up if you place a normal tree next to them, get a worker to begin harvesting, when the troublesome tree is hit by the harvest, it shows.

Is that a problem with the animation? If it's hit maybe it plays the animations.

I think that u test ur campaign's map using the test map option in the editor if that is what u do then it's not going to work.... To test ur campaign u have to paste it in the campaigns folder of ur wc3 directory and launch it from the game...

demon, I'm afraid that's not it. It is a campaign, so I cannot use the test-map button. I made a test map and played around with it, and manually triggering the "stand" animation makes it show up. I suspect it's playing the birth animation or something.

Hmm.. I think u r right but u can try another tree model if still the problem exisits then u can contact the model maker.

Anyways.. It's demon Slayer not demon...i slay them

Set the destructable's "Has lightweight model" property to False. Normally, trees do not use a single model file but a couple for different states.

Try it with a shrub. Make a new shrub and put the tree model there. If it works, its up to the options in the destructible editor that you need to tinker with.
