I started making my first map a couple days ago, and I've been trying to make an immortal hero. Only, it refuses to show up. I went to actors, made a copy of the immortal actors, and changed the unitName to Shield Breaker, which is the hero's name. Still, it refuses to show up. Any suggestions?
Edit: comparing the actor list, the copied version of the immortal doesn't have the actor listed as "immortal" or even an actor listed as "immortal copy", where the original has the one listed as "immortal". Is there a reason for this?
Follow this procedure when making a unit based off an existing one:
1) In the Data Editor, right click the unit and click Duplicate Object.
2) Place a check mark for the unit AND the unit's actor.
In other words, always duplicate both the unit and the unit's actor. This procedure always works for me. Sometimes I duplicate the weapon as well when I know that I want the weapon to be different. I never mess around with anything else in the duplicate object menu.
I managed to find the problem. When I copied the actors and associated them with the unit, it listed the model for the unit as "ShieldBreaker", which the editor had no model for. So I changed the value back to immortal, now I can see my hero. Thank you for your help.
Under actors check the Events - Events - Send and at the top you will find a whole lot of stuff besed on actor creation (unitbirth, unitrevive and unitconstruction). These are linked to a specific unit so you will need to change those to your desired unit for the actor to affect it. In the case of your immortal under your actor copy, in the Object Explorer you will probably see that the actor is still linked to the original immortal under the Units heading and not your copy unit.
