I have 3 different zergling units all with 3 different actors. Most of them I just duplicated and setup their own models and actor events etc. but for some reason they all keep sharing the same model even though I've set all 3 of them up with different models on their actors! I've been looking under the Actor events of the units actor and can't find any place where there is a link. Please Help!
Here are the details.
1.) A zergling that uses the standard ground zergling but is smaller.
2.) A Zergling that is ground with the standard ground model and size.
3.) A Zergling type that is air and uses the zergling with wings model.
If I change the model for the zergling with wings, it changes the model for all 3 zergling types!
If I try to duplicate the original default Changeling (Zergling with wings) it doesn't seem to duplicate correctly either as it somehow shares the same properties with the original copy. I've noticed this problem before with other units like the Ultralisk for example. It's almost like you have to go in from scratch to recreate all this stuff.
EDIT:
I did end up solving this problem, but I kept the post up here because I wanted to hear peoples opinions regarding Blizzards Default units and some of the strange settings they have going on. Whats with all the linked units / actors?
In order to get this to work I had to recreate the zergling and actor from scratch.
A lot of units which morph to other units will have that issue. Most zerg units morph between burrowed and unburrowed. So you gotta make sure to always update those.

Checked the macros?
Yeah I also find it better to make stuff from scratch.
