I've been trying to make a custom Photon Cannon by duplicating it in the data editor to figure out how to make it work, now I have stuff like 'Photon Cannon attack Copy 4' and was wondering if there was a place to reset all the modifications I've made to the unit data so I can start over (or preferably just remove the copies by hand so later when the map gets more refined I can just remove the few mistakes)? I have triggers in place that I'd like to not have to start a new map with and for future reference I'd like to know how to remove these. I've already deleted the duplicated Item but I can't figure out where to go to get ride of these copies?
I know the copied items are green and I have been able to reset a few of them by selecting them and clicking "reset linked object to parent" but I don't know what that is doing and am not sure if when I highlight it and the blue ones if I'm messing something up.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is posted somewhere I couldn't find it .
If you select to duplicated EVERYTHING of a unit, it will make new abilities too (etc) instead linking to the existing. For most purposes, that is not necessary.
So you need to go to the abilities (etc) tab and delete there. Easiest way to do this is to right click the ability (etc) in the unit overview tree (is that the right word? bottom left thingy) and select "view linked object" which will bring you to that tab with that object already selected.
