I'm trying to add a baseplate to the bottom of a marine, and i can't seem to link the baseplate model, behavior, and actor to the Marine. How would i link those objects together? Same thing goes with any other objects... how do you link them @_@
Also, the marine doesn't have a behavior tab for some reason, so it makes it even harder for me to find out what to do. Can anyone help? I know you can usually edit the token on an actor to make it work with a unit, but the baseplate won't let me do that.
fyi: this baseplate was also used in the map: Cube TD
(also another problem, how do you make it so a unit can build other units as if they are structures, i have the build option on the Card Layout but idk what to put inside of it to make it so the unit just appears when you try to build it, i want the placement of the structure to show while you are trying to build it)
(and another: how do you put an ability on a unit to where it can transform to another actor; eg: Snare Tower 1 with an ability to upgrade to Snare Tower 2 with the cost of 50 minerals)
I've struggled with this too. It's strange that I can make an entire map with triggers yet I can't seem to figure out how to create a new unit. Clearly Blizzard needs to work on some improved automatic linking for units.
I would check to make sure the field in the accompanying picture is correctly linked to the desired unit model. Should the picture fail to load, just select the particular actor accompanying your new unit and look for the box in the top of the right frame. It's easy to pass up.

This is the baseplate i'm trying to apply to my Marine: http://i29.tinypic.com/a4y3w8.jpg http://i30.tinypic.com/2lbkooy.jpg

thanks for your time :D
Bump since everyone seems to be avoiding my question and answering others @_@
