For a start unless the placement model is creating your actor it will do nothing. Just make a Model type actor based on the BunkerPlaceholderModelCampaign (Unnamed) actor and put it in the various Art - Placeholder Actor Model and Art - Plaement Model fields.
Also note how all placement actors use an unexplored SOp.
I give up, does not look like there is a way to create a custom place holder model.
I assume its the main actor of that unit that create a placement model but i cant find any event for "Model created / model birth" so i can never really trigger the model adjustment actor for it. I looks like my problem is simply that the actor never start because there is no way to start the actor. I have never seen any custom placement models in other maps so that explains it all :) Freaking irritating that blizz would leave out such a important thing.
Are you sure? There are several ingame examples that do. The one I gave for the campaign bunkers was just one of many.
Like the launch and impact actors for Action actors eg firebat the placement actor specified for a Unit type actor is automatically created when it is being placed.
How do i offset the placement model -0.3 on the Z?
How do i make the model transparent?
I tried to create an placement model and then add a actor to that model but the actor does absolutely nothing to it :( have i made it wrong?
