Hi, I have been doing some Morph ability to upgrade my Tower in a defense game, it works fine for the upgrade but the tower just wont move after upgrading it, it does attack but it doesnt move anymore, Any idea what might be the problem?
if you were to place a copy of the second tower on the terrain w/o having it be morphed, does it move?
EDIT:
you said you duplicated it. that is not the most optimal way of going about adding units IMO, very easy to cause internal conflicts that break the units on both ends. make sure that the plain 2nd town works perfectly, and analyze the actors to make sure it is hooked up right-
try to change the unit it morphs to a zergling or something that you know moves properly- if the zergling moves, you know for sure that it is the units problem
I get the vibe you've never done this way before. I actually made a tutorial video years ago for this. the editor is out of date, but the idea is the same. only difference is that the add unit/add actor buttons are now under the unit/actor tabs instead of the "data" tab.

sounds like problem with the unit that its morphing into
I duplicated it from the First tower , Changed some stats on it, basicly just made it more powerfull... The first tower is moving properly..

So i did what you said, tryed to put a copy of the 2nd tower without upgrading it and it doesnt move, So which actor do i want to look into?
And the best way to create units would be what? Create every single actor and link them up together?
the best way, imo, is going to data-> new unit-> copy from X then go to actor-> new actor-> copy from X's actor and change the token to the new unit.
if you want to try to work off of what you have already, then I would look at the unit actor- and movement section of the unit's unit tab.
honestly, I would delete the duplication and use the process I described at the top of this post.

maybe it can help?
I get the point on how to make new units, I will go and try that, Thanks for sharing your knowledge and yes that should help!
