I personally find that Blizzard goes out of their way to intentionally make our lives difficult by modifying fields here and there when we aren't looking. Right now I am having a -LOT- of trouble figuring out how to properly link an actor (with model attached) to a unit. It used to be very simple, with only needing to modify a single field, however said field seems to no longer exist, or have been modified.
The above stated, I would like to ask someone who can create a custom unit with a custom model with ease to refer me to a CURRENT working tutorial / guide etc. explaining simply (without goofy snapshots with incorrect visuals of the editor) that is in current working order. I have checked over 7 of said reference materials tonight alone, and find that every single one is outdated. How this is the case is beyond me, but if someone could give me a little text step by step, or link me to an existing reference, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
PS: I run 64 bit Windows 7, so perhaps that is part of the difference in visuals, however I doubt there is a huge difference between the editor ui between OSes.
PPS: Does anyone else find that the SC2 editor seems to be made in such a way to be almost purposefully difficult to work with? For what reason can we not simply define a units data entirely upon one initial creation, or at the very least be able to link actors in a more simple manner?
I'm not sure if they actually modified the field and I didn't notice, but the field that links an actor to a unit is still there, under "Token - Unit Name".
