Im sure theres more than one way to do this, and I bet you anything theres a better way than what ill give you, but its the method I use (make Zhakul'Das Obelisk pylons, that shoot lasers... within seconds lol)
Simply go to the data editor, go to unites, make a new one, type: structure, race... w/e you like really.
Next, go to actors make a new unit actor, and attach the model to this actor (the model of the doodad), simple fill in the information and your good to go.
if you want a fast way to do this without needing to make the actors...ect
Just copy a building and its actor/effects, then in the copies actor, change the model and done!
Like I said, im 100% sure there is a better way to do this, but unitl you get that post, this might help you out =)
For my First big venture into the world that is the data editor. I thought I would make a super sized Colossus unit, and modify the thermal laser weapon to shoot a third laser that goes up to down.
I was able to easily edit the two lasers the weapon has to increase the distances the "cut" from left to right, however im running into problems try to add a "new" third laser.
I have made (what I thought) was all the correct actors and effects, everywhere there was a "normal" and a "reverse" effect, i added a "middle" one. same with the actors, everything looks like it matches up perfect, but no dice, would anyone be willing to give me a nudge in the right direction? Does not seem like theres any tutorials heavy on learning actors yet, so its a little hard to get into =)

it should work just fine if your copying the weapon over to the hyrdolisk, would you mind linking your map?

What is it your trigger is trying to do? there are a few methods, but it depends on what your trying to make happen.
there is the event: time elapsed, which makes the event happen every X seconds
or the Action: wait which makes the trigger wait, you could add this to the end of the trigger to make it wait 1 second before going again.

something like that would work just fine =)
