I'm trying to duplicate the evolution chamber so I can make a custom building for my map. I duplicate it (I think) in the correct manner, (just models + actors) but neither of those show up in the duplicated building. What should I do?
Are you independently duplicating ONLY the unit, model and actor and than changing the names/links to the new unit? there's something you're missing and usually it's something simple. So just delete it all and try, try, try again.
I found out what the problem was. When duplicating the unit, the actor didn't link correctly. All you have to do is go to actors and search for "Evolution Chamber Copy" and link that to the unit you duplicated by changing the token value. Make sure you change the name of the duplicated unit first.
Edit: Also you will have to go to the Evo Chamber copy actor and change the events. Change:
UnitBirth.EvolutionChamberCreate
to
UnitBirth.<yourunit>Create
Do the same thing for unit death.
Also you don't need to duplicate the actor, not the model.

Your duplicating it wrong.
How do I duplicate it the right way? :P

Curse PremiumRight click the evo camber unit and hit duplicate. Then check off only the actor entitled 'evolution chamber'. Hit okay. That should work.
If you rename anything you have to rename the Actor and Model BEFORE renaming the Unit or they will dissociate themselves.

But of course you can always re-associate them. I thought that was only a problem back in the beta?

It is, renaming anything won't give you any issues.
It's still not working... >.< The unit duplicates, but it doesn't have models or actors.
