I'm fairly new at using editors in general and I am trying to make unit that has the carriers abilities but looks like a medivac. So far I duplicated the carrier and it duplicated everything that went with the carrier. Problem is the copy of the intercepter that it created doesn't have a actor(I think its actor that I'm talking about) and I don't know how to add an actor to a unit.
To add an actor to a unit, you can either copy the actor and set the unitName field to your unit (its the top most field), or you can not copy the actor, and look in the events+ field for the actor you wish to add to a unit. There will be a bunch of events you will need to register for your own unit, such as
UnitBirth.Interceptor2
Create
But to give the medivac interceptors, the easiest thing in my oppinion would be to add the abilities "Carrier - Hanger" and "Queue (5) (Hanger)" to your medivac. Also remember to add train interceptor in the command card
Edit: You also need to add the "Carrier - Weapon" as a weapon to the medivac

Thanks!
You have to check the box next to 'Actors' to copy that units actor, then just modify its settings.
