Update: I found a fix for my problem. It looks like the morphed tower retains the scaling of the tower that it was morphed from. So by changing the scaling of Tower 1 to 0.5, it works. However, if anyone knows of a way to make it so that I could keep tower 1's 0.75 scale and still have Tower to be at an 0.5 scale, that would be greatly appreciated.

I am working on morphing a tower in a TD map that I am making. My problem is that when I morph tower 1 into tower 2, everything works, except that the end unit which is supposed to have a modified scale, changes back to the original scale. Specifically, Tower 2 is using a colossus model with an 0.5 scale and 1x1 footprint, however the end unit has the normal 1.0 scale.

Here is the process I used.

Tower 1:

• Duplicate Photon cannon
• Modify scale to 0.75
• Modify footprint to 1x1
• Models are set to original photon cannon
• Actor name changed to Tower 1

Tower 2:

• Duplicate Photon cannon
• Models set to Colossus
• Modify scale to 0.5
• Modify footprint to 1x1
• Actor named changed to Tower 2

Morph Ability

• Duplicate Spire Morph to Greater Spire
• Change target unit to Tower 2
• Added events to Tower 1 and 2 to change model

Tower 1 event:

• Abil Morph -> Morph to Tower 2 -> Destroy Tower 2 event:
• Abil Morph -> Morph to Tower2 -> Create

I want the end result so that once the morph completes Tower 2 (colossus model) retains the 0.5 scale I set for Tower 2

Thanks for the advice, I think I'm going to hold off on messing with the models etc for now. I'm still working on getting the basic mechanics of my map in place, but I'll prolly come back and mess with the models/actors like you suggested once I start doing fine tuning and debugging etc. Still a little new at the whole galaxy editor so I'm going one step at a time :)

I'm definitely liking it though and I'm just now starting to get the hang of effects and behaviors.
