Hello everyone, my problem is very annoying. Every time I duplicate an object (unit/bulding/ect), the copied object always ends up a black blob. After this I have to figure out for the next few hours what is wrong, and thats just ridiculous. I'm using Mac also, so would anyone like to share steps they take when duplicating an object please? What do you copy in the pop when they give you the choice?

If you are having trouble with basics, you should read a tutorial, there are many good ones out there. I'll link you a few.

(Also just to note, you are getting the black blobs because your actor model is not linked properly).

Basicly as said above, you're missing the actor.
When duplicating make sure you have the actor checkbox checked. (also explained in the tutorials)
