Also since that movie was made there have been several developments in data editing that allow for even more impressive units. Some include easy texture swapping and adding controlled joints.
With your unit you need your drone as the Unit actor and have a Model actor of a photon turret that has the opacity set to 0 as an attachment. On the turret you then attach your hydralisk as a Model actor.
The following SOps are your friends, Attachment, Local Offset and Explicit Rotation.
in this video, the units he created, often had one model with another model over the top of it, like holding something or using as a weapon.
in the data editor, how can i achieve this too?
in the case of what i want to acheive, a hydralisk stood on a drone, the drone is the mover, while the hydra is the turret.
could somebody please give me a tutorial on how to make this?
