So im trying to duplicate buildings that are already in the editor and then edit those, but sometimes when I do that it appears that the duplicated building becomes a unit or something because it no longer snaps to the ground but instead can be placed anywhere like a unit.
It also appears to not duplicate everything the original building had.
How do I fix this issue?
Specifically im trying to duplicate a Terran Barracks, but when I go to place the duplicated structure it doesnt snap to the ground but instead can be freeplaced. It duplicated the footprint of the original barracks and I thought maybe thats the issue.
Im new to the sc2 map editor and im trying to learn it. Ive used SC1 and WC3 editors before.
Change the Footprint - Placement in the Unit. Without it you won't get the snap to grid display when you use it for a build unit type effect. Also, if you're using effect-target - you have to set the Place - Unit field to the unit you're using.
The footprint appears to be exactly the same as the original barracks. So Im confused what you are saying.
I literally clicked the barracks and "Duplicate Unit" and now the duplicated unit can be freeplaced which I dont want.
When I click the unit in the data editor, the Movement: Pathing Footprint and Movement: Pathing Footprint - Placement are the same as the original barracks. Then if I look at the footprints area, that is also the same as the original barracks.

Footprint determines actual unit pathing however.
