Hey.. I've got a small problem, that I suspect may be a bug in the editor. When I duplicate, let's say the marine, and check all, even the actor, it gets copied but WITHOUT the actor, so when I place the unit on my map, it's a black blob... It wont copy the actor, no matter how i do it. Is this a bug? Can I still import the actor in my Marine Copy, in some other way?
It's not a bug. Several of the tutorials are simply wrong.
Go into the Actors. Find the Marine Copy actor you made. Change the unitName to your Marine Copy, if it isn't already. Change the Art - Model, Art - Portrait, and all similar fields to the proper Marine fields (and not Marine Copy).
In the future, I would suggest duplicating the Actor separately, and not checking them when duplicating the unit.

Thanks for the help, but I still have the same problem. I'll try to explain as good as I can.
I have a unit named "Hero" that doesn't have an actor. So I copied the Marine (all inclusive, actors as well) and got everything except actors. Now I have a "Marine Copy" unit.
So now I have these units:
Marine
Marine Copy
Hero
And these Actors:
Marine (Marine)
Marine2 (Marine Copy)
So, I did what you said, and changed the model, and portrait and stuff, and sure, it worked - for the "Marine Copy". But it's not the Marine copy I want to use, it's the "Hero" unit, haha, so how do I apply the Marine Actor to my Hero unit? I'm sorry if I explained the problem in the first post, like a retard, I hope you'll understand my problem now :)Thanks!

As you can see on this screenshot, everything copied without problems, except for the actor.

OOOOOOH !!!
I figured out how to do this now; I Had to chant the unitName of the Marine Copy, as "Hero" Who could have guessed..
I lose 10 points of IQ for every time this happens -_- Thanks anyways Sceptilesolarbeam
