I'm trying to make a new hero based on Kerrigan, but I've run into a weird problem. When I place the Kerrigan-K5 unit in the Editor, she shows up as the Queen of Blades, but when I test the map the unit is suddenly Ghost Kerrigan instead of the Zerg version. Oddly enough, her abilities work fine (except for stuff like Leaping Strike lacking the proper actors of course.) Anyone know what to do about this?
Check the various Art: Model fields on the Unit actor, they're all set to the Ghost versions. In fact, I have no idea why she appears infested in the editor.
The model change is controlled by the "Kerrigan Cosmetic Macro" Event Macro actor, but it should check for a dummy upgrade before swapping models and its teamcolor change event doesn't fire.
That is strange. Blizzard just loves confusing us, I guess.
@ ToLau,
So you're right, Infested Kerrigan (and her voice) is in fact a Tech Tree upgrade, not a unit. Add that one to the growing column of Stuff That Doesn't Make Sense. Anyway, implemented your solution and everything works fine now. Thanks!
It does make sense to use upgrades, as the mission order isn't set in stone. You can do either Char or Kaldir (but not both) after Zerus, so they need an outside controller for Kerrigan's form. And making a ModelSwap macro is far easier than adding a fully functional copied unit since all gameplay changes are either further upgrades (ability selection) or Buff-level stat changes (energy+regen)
Hi everyone,

Simple way to make it work: Make a trigger
Event: Map initialization for example
Actions:
Tech Tree - Add 1 to Kerrigan - Cosmetic (Infested Kerrigan) upgrade for player 1 This makes Kerrigan look proper
Tech Tree - Add 1 to Kerrigan Post Zerus Sounds upgrade for player 1 This makes Kerrigan sound proper
That's it :)

Well, now I just feel silly. I will remember that.
I've tried this. The art works, (Kerrigan infested comes)
The sounds DO NOT WORK?
I've done endless searching, even found a testmap the same problem, Kerrigan with no sounds?

that was solved about 3 posts above you
This doesn't work?
