Is there a data asset out there with all standard melee units for all races copied?
Some things break when copying so I hoped someone did the work of copying everything and fixing it up, at least for the standard melee tech paths of the races.
I'm confused on what you are asking for. Are you saying you want a mod that has 2 of every unit? It just seems necessary. As long as you copy correctly, you shouldn't have any problems with it. You should not be using the duplicate feature. What I do is create a new unit and use the option at the bottom of the popup which allows me to copy the unit much more safely. You will still have to modify the actors to completely make it work though. That could be your problem.
Like you said, modifying the actors is required and thats the thing. Its insanely tedious. Every morph needs to be edited for the zerg, the spine crawler is a real horror to fix and then there is of course all the other units of the other races.
So I am looking for a map that has everything copied. I don't want to edit the original units for my arcade map.
If you edit an original unit, it will automatically make a "copy" of it (in some cases). If it doesn't, you can always right click on the original unit and select "Reset to Parent Value" if you are unhappy with the changes.
Additionally (and I strongly recommend this), you can right click on a unit you want to modify, select Duplicate Unit, and, well, duplicate it. If you are going to edit the abilities on the unit as well, then check the boxes for the ability and effects too. Make sure to duplicate actors (the ones whose names are in blue or green if the actor was edited) but NOT the actors whose name are in grey.
If you are not changing the abilities on a unit, then just check the one actor the unit uses when duplicating it and voila.
Take the spine crawler, dublicate it and everything that belongs to it. Place it. Look at it. It's broken. Actors fail to dublicate properly if they are complicated like the tentacle actor or anything with a morph.

It would speed up the map I plan by a ton.

You know, I know exactly how to dublicate a unit.
But it's not a perfect process.
