I've tried about a half dozen tutorials and about 3 hours trying to duplicate a unit successfully.. So far I have either gotten a black circle, odd colored sphere, or the unit model without any sound (tried copying the marine) If anyone has any "easy" method on how to duplicate a unit (with all the sounds), then that would be much appreciated
Almost all your issues seem like actor and/or actor->model link issues.
Personally, I try not to do a mass duplicate (which it eventually ends up being at the unit level) since too many links get broken.
Perhaps tell us what exactly it is you are trying to modify with your new marine and we can go about telling you what a more efficient solution will be, one that perhaps circumnavigates having to use the duplicate feature.
On a separate note, duplication itself is fine, but for specific things. High level objects (like units or any other type of object that has a lot of stuff linked to it) is very prone to breaking under duplication. The little tree view should let you know if there are too many things linked to an object to perhaps prevent you from using duplicate.
Overall though, you will learn what you should and should not use duplicate for in time.
As an example, things like "models" which are usually leaf nodes, are perfectly fine to duplicate, since they rarely have things attached under them (instead they are attached to other stuff higher up the chain).
