For my Art of Defense Map, I was hoping to make Dark Archon by merging 2 Dark Templars.
I was able to create the merging process but the I couldn't get the Merging construction unit.
However, after 20s the a Dark Archon will just pop out from where I told the 2 Dark Templars to merge.

In addition, I tried to recreate the malestorm ability which kinda works but the actor only plays on 1 unit in the group and I cant seem make it not affect ally units.

Been going at it for hours. I am really really stuck.
Thanks for any help.

Maelstorm: Have you linked your acteur with the effect that was triggered by a search area effect? Don't know what else you could be done wrong.

I tried to just do exactly what fungal growth is doing but it's not working.

.

Maybe I need a fresh start and do it again.

btw does anyone know how to make archons red? i tried changing the color in the model section but it has no effect.

I've been looking for that model, and I can't find it. It's not in the core assets file. If you have the path to find it, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Ok, So I've figured it out.

0. Copy the Archon in the Editor.

1. Go to the Actor Tab

2. Search for Archon (in ur case Archon2 should be there)

3. Click on it

4. On the right, double click Art - Model

5. Scroll down until you find Dark Archon, then click OK.

You will have to do the same for the following:

ArchonDeath

ArchonAttackBeam

ArchonAttackBeamImpact

And I think that's it. I hope this helped!

ive been also trying to do this. I cant seem to get the merging animation for the dark archon . Can someone tell me how ?
