I've searched long and hard for any help on this subject. I've read the numerous threads here, spent hours trying everything I could think of, and alas, I am still unable to resolve this issue.
I need to be able to duplicate the ultralisk, hydralisk, roach, queen, and zergling. Using the above mentioned resources, the only unit I was able to successfully duplicate was the zerging. The ultralisk's, hydralisk's, roach's, and queen's attack sounds and animations aren't working, and the hydralisk's, roach's, and queen's projectiles aren't showing. I've tried duplicating the actor's for each unit's "attack" actor and the other actors (like the ultralisk's head attack actor) to no avail.
Has anyone been able to duplicate these units and if so, would you be able to list the steps you took to do it? Or is there an addon that can do this process more easily?
After duplicating the actors, you have to relink them to the associated duplicated objects. It depends on the actor but most of the time, the links are in the events+ field of actor. In addition for units with projectile attacks (like hydra, roach, queen), there's usually some set of actors for the weapon's effects so you gotta somehow link those all together. I duplicated ultralisk in my map, it was a little weird since its attacks (headbutt and cleave) are linked the ultra's model actor.
One thing I check if there are any missing links is compare my duplicated unit to the original if it's missing models/sounds/movers/units/etc
If you're having trouble finding out what links what, right click an object -> explain link helps a lot.
Sorry guys,
