    HI!

    I want to make a pylon but dont want to change the original unit becuase i want this pylon's power source range to be smaller and add an upgrade to it which would make the radius larger ( stage 1 pylon power range 3, stage 2 power range 6 and stage 3 range 8 ) so i would actually need 3 pylons with these ranges and the model would change each stage. The problem i having is when i duplicate the pylon, the copy doesnt give power the power circle is there but no power cant build around it like a regular pylon.

    What do i need to do to make these pylons have power? I duplicated all the actors and behavior and the model.

    Someone enlighten me plz THX!

    I dont have issue with the model, my problem is that the pylon has no power it doesnt aact like a power source. Forgive me if i wasnt clear in the 1st post. So when I duplicate the pylon with the actors and behavior it becomes powerless, this is what I'm trying to understand why.

    I saw an invisible pylon and added on the map and it seems that it infect is the power source so I'm thinking when a player builds a pylon it somehow gets attached to the unit (pylon) but can't find the connection between the pylon (unit) and and the pylon (invisible [power source] )

    AHA!

    It was the power link in the behavior of the units "power user" (this is the ability the units that needs power to function use) ability where i needed to change the power link to the one I copied !!
