I thought the only problem was units renaming themselves, but over time while working in the editor any duplicated unit seems to just randomly toss out it's stats. The problems I've seen so far:
- Two units had their movement stats completely reset to 0
- Original unit names constantly changing to the duplicated units' name
- Command card rarely and randomly glitches all the buttons and need to be assigned again
I'm at my wit's end playing whack-a-mole with these issues. Surely I can't be the only one who uses duplicated units? And how can I completely resolve this?
Yeah I can say I've had random issues like that. Its a pain to deal with so eventually I just started making most things I needed from scratch. Once you get familiar with what fields need to be entered it doesn't take all that long and does away with those annoying problems. I never did find any kind of solution (other than just building everything from scratch) though for the random issues that cropped up from duplicating, but it didn't happen all that often.
When you select duplicate units.. I was told to select only certain ones, not all. Of which I do not remember. I assume the rest of the important information will copy over whether its selected or not.. if it is needed.
to tell you the truth.. I am battling it right now... Duplicated probes.. form an original probe that had the dark protoss upgrade... Originally the basic wall color of a nexus is gold,/yellow like a typical pyramid with blue crystal type things decorating it... Dark protoss has green crystals with dark grey walls...
Well my duplicat dark probe makes gold/yellow nexuss with green crystal decor.. Interesting or what?
Tried getting rid of the duplicate "dark protoss copy" upgrade and as far as i see, nothing has changed.
I've never ran to the duplicate unit issue, but i did run into the command card issue you described. I was unable to remove certain buttons from a units command card like the firebat's incinerator gauntlets.
Yes i think the checkboxes, like DarcZaFire mentioned, might play a role in this. So far i have only duplicated a Unit and its corresponding Actor. 2 objects. The rest I dont really copy them as they are sound/model assets or abilities, which i can manually link with ease.
I have never ran into the name bug or the movement reset bug. so yeah.

My understanding is the checkpbox is the key.
