I've been trying to make an upgrade that changes the wireframe of a Marine into a Warpig. Everything works except that it doesnt make the Marines on the map look like Warpigs. The group icon image changes, but not the actual unit itself.
I've changed both the "Group - Icon" image as well as the "Wireframe - Image" in the "Effects - Data" reference field but so far I'm having zero luck. Any help would be much appreciated thanks.
That's because you have to actually upgrade the actor... Group - Icon and Wireframe - Image fields do JUST that... the wireframe when the unit is selected on its own, or group icons when multiple units are selected. Modify the Marine's Actor to change to Warpig when Upgrade X is applied.
in the Event - Event + field of the actor
Add new Event which looks like this one...
ActorCreation
ValidateUnit MarineUpgraded
ModelSwap WarPig
Add a second Event
Upgrade.CustomMarineUpgrade.Add
ModelSwap WarPig
The first new Actor Event creates your marine that looks like a War Pig when you finish building the marine.
The second new Actor Event changes current marines on the map to look like War Pigs.
