There seems to a very odd glitch in my map Supreme Commander map, the models for the T1 Air and Land Factories (Effectively they are just the Terran Factory and Starport) seem to dissapear for about 23.8 seconds once the building finishes construction, after 23.8 seconds they reappear coming up from the ground.
The way they appear it seems like its an actor glitch with the construction somewhere but I haven't been able to pinpoint what exactly is causing it. Any ideas?
Restore the factory or start-port to parent values in the unit data editor. If that's not it, then try the behavior's, if that's not it, start deleting triggers and see which one is the culprit. Eventually you will narrow it down and then you can look in that area for the 23 .8 seconds.
It seems to only occur when a my ACU (Your main builder in the map) builds those 2 structures, all other structures built by it do not have this bug, and building these 2 structures by other units does not cause the bug.
Actually it's perfectly normal. Build animations for terran structures consist of two models - the scaffolding and the building itself. Take a close look at the construction animations for any terran building and you'll see what I mean. The problem you're having is that the scaffolding model is not appearing. This is also known as the "build" actor and if you look at any building actors you'll see that it's created when construction starts.

No the animation when the building is under construction is perfectly fine, just for some reason when the structure is built by a certain unit the building will disappear for the 23.8 seconds AFTER it is built.
I have this issue with a custom Bunker unit.
I have several saves of the map either side of when the misconfig occured, I am trying to track it down.
My gut feeling is that the problem arose at the time I duplicated the 'Barracks - Train' ability and added the duplicate (once renamed and tidied) as an ability of the barracks,
Have you taken similar steps with your duplicated buildings?

Do some process of elimination tests.

Curse PremiumIn that case, direct your attention towards the build ability on that unit, specifically the build routines for those two structures.
