I don't know what changed recently but I'm having an extremely hard time making a new custom unit.
So I made a new unit, new actor, and new model. I copied the settings from all the units I wanted to use (hydralisk). Then I made the new actor use the new model. Then I set the unitName in the actor to the new unit.
After all this, my new unit won't show. Its completely invisible in the editor when I try to place it.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? The biggest issue I can see is that even though I've set the unitName to my new unit, if I look at the new unit the actor does NOT show as attached to it and I can't figure out why.
sounds like you are missing "unitbirth.yourunitname >>>> Create" in the main unit actor
I was missing it. I fixed it but the problem is still happening; hydralisk is still invisible.
I've noticed another unusual problem. When I set unitName on the actor I usually get a drop down box. But if I set it to the custom hydralisk, then close the editor, and open it again, I no longer get a drop down box. Now its just a normal text field.
I think I solved the problem. I deleted all of my work and made the unit from scratch. This time when I was making the actor I chose "Generic Unit Base" instead of "cActor". That worked. Argh.

Does the actor have a model? :>
Yeah. Went to all three model fields and attached the custom model.
