I have 2 units. Zergling, and Big Ol' Zergling. Zergling is just the default unit with it's life stats altered.

So to make my Big Ol' Zergling, here's what I did:

Under units, I duplicated zergling and renamed it to Big Ol' Zergling. I followed a tutorial and did what it said, duplicating everything in the check-boxes. I set the art - model, art - model (build), art - model (placement), and art - model (portrait) to zergling since this was my base unit.

With this, done I was able to place my new unit, which is just a renamed zergling in the map editor.

The problem is, I want this Big Ol' Zergling to be....well.....Big. If I adjust the model scale in Big Ol' Zergling to a higher scale, that changes the zergling scale to the bigger size as well since they share the same model.

So I tried going into models and duplicating the zergling model, figuring I could just rename it and then set the Big Ol' Zergling unit to use the Big Ol' Zergling model instead of Zergling. Problem is, I don't find a way to do that.

You can also change the scale in the actor.

I love when people do not read ENTIRE posts, only bits, and then respond accordingly.

I already KNOW how to change the scale. The PROBLEM is when I do so, it changes the scale of my base unit as well as my new unit.

I already CREATED A NEW model for my custom unit, but the PROBLEM I AM HAVING is I cannot seem to find a place to change my new unit to use the NEW MODEL instead of the BASE model so they DON'T BOTH HAVE THE SAME SCALE WHEN I CHANGE IT.

Well, if you change the the model in the Art - Model fields in the actor to your Big Ol' Zergling, so both actors each have a model, it should be fine.

Thanks DrSuperEvil, this worked! Wanna join my project? lol. This is the second thing you have helped me on hehe,

Ok now I don't know what I did wrong, I did what you suggested for a wave spawn and it worked. Then everything crashed and for some reason reverted back to before I made the change. Now I am lost. Here is what I want to do:

I have a variable Wave Unit Type which is a unit type variable. I also have a variable Current Wave = 0 which is an integer and a trigger for my spawns that when the spawn is over the variable increases by 1.

I want wave 31 to be a bigger zergling, so I have the following in my trigger:

Events
        Timer - Every 0.2 seconds of Game Time (have this because I don't know any 
        other way to force the map to check for current wave = 31)

Condition
        Current Wave == 31

Actions
        Unit - Set (Unit attached to Spawnpoint 01) scale to (200.0%,
        200.0%, 200.0%) of its original size

Now it doesn't work for some reason. I also tried last created unit and that too didn't work.

I know the .2 seconds of game time checking works because I have a similar trigger that says to display current wave since I cannot figure out the wave timer display triggers but that's a different story.

Is there a trigger that will just let me say "If units in play == big ol' zergling then set scale to etc etc etc?
