Im trying to create a marauder tower, but it doesnt shoot. I just duplicated the marauder actor and weapon, linked everything else, removed the 'movable' flag and added 'footprint 1x1 doodad' to the unit. If i remove the footprint it engages targets as it should, but if the footprint is on, it doesnt do anything.
You could use an existing tower like a turret or photon cannon replace the footprint to 1x1 and replace the weapon.then replace the actors & sounds to that of a marauders.
Actually both wrong. The model needs a TurretZ attachment point to turn. As your tower lacks the Turnable flag on the unit it will need a turret and your visual will need to be hosted as an attachment Model type actor since the marauder lacks the necessary attachment point.

It would need a turret (Afaik) try setting it to Auto Turret. (Under where you add the weapon).
I'm not 100% sure though.
