I've been reading every custom unit tutorial on the web and everything works fine until I need to assign my actor to my token custom unit, my custom unit isn't in the drop down list when in every tutorial theirs is and I do everything exactly the same.
1. Go to unit tab 2. Data/Add Object 3. Don’t change Based on; Set name, suggest name, and pick copy from and choose some unit
4. Go to actors tab 5. Data/Add Object 6. Actor Type: Unit; Based on: GenericUnitBase; Copy From: pick a unit 7. Change Actors Unit Name Field and you should have your custom unit from point 2. there to pick
I had a suspicion with my map so I saved my work and made a new document, I tried the steps above and it worked, flawlessly. Now I need to figure out whats wrong with my map. I think it might be the dependencies because ever since I wanted to put medics in my map and put the campaign one up top everything has been haywire, the order is
1. Liberty Multi (Mod)
2. Liberty (Campaign)
3. Liberty (Mod)
4. Liberty Story (Campaign)

Try instead of first creating a unit, duplicate the actor of the unit you want to copy
Do not click sounds actors or upgrades to be copied
Then the unit you copied will be named UnitName Copy
You can change the name by right clicking and modify unit
The actor should be set to it as well as the models and sounds not glitching

It all works but I don't like the ID to be set as Marine2, it wont let me change or suggest a new one, how can I get around this?
1. Go to unit tab
2. Data/Add Object
3. Don’t change Based on; Set name, suggest name, and pick copy from and choose some unit
4. Go to actors tab
5. Data/Add Object
6. Actor Type: Unit; Based on: GenericUnitBase; Copy From: pick a unit

I discovered the correct order t make everything work.
1. Liberty (Campaign)
2. Liberty Multi (Mod)
3. Liberty (Mod)
Why Liberty Multi (Mod) and Liberty (Campaign) in same time?
Liberty (Mod) and Liberty (Campaign) -No melee maps (TD, DOTA, etc)
Liberty (Mod) and Liberty Multi (Mod) -Melee maps
I think this is best tutorial of for custom unit making:
