I've been using Neocross's helpful guide to creating new units, but a roadblock has appeared. The method works perfectly when the only dependencies are Mod and Melee. But when the Liberty Campaign and Story dependencies are active, one of the steps becomes impossible.
Creating the unit itself seems to go fine, then I create the actor and, as the guide says:
"But before we go further you need to look the the right side of your Data Editor and you will see a small box with the title Token.
in that small box you will see Parent, ID, and unitName you will need to replace unitName which should have Marine next to it, you will then replace Marine with the name of you new unit in which my case would by Duke Nukemz"
Now, when I try to change the unitName, the name of the custom unit I created does not appear in the pull-down menu.
Again, this only happens when Story and Campaign dependencies are active. When they aren't, this step still works for me. Help?
Read several times that Story dependency need to be the 1st one listed or cause unit model issues.
Try with only Campaign and Story dependency listed, remove the default 2 dependency (Mod) ones that are included.
Save, close & re-open sc2map file see if unit is created then.
Be sure you save to a new map file in case this causes any un-foreseen issues.
