How do I add models to a unit?

Editor Discussion

I created a unit, duplicated from the Marine, yet it seems that whenever I look away, more of the models go missing. How should I add them back?

I kinda understand what you need, but I don’t get what you say. You are saying that the model appears, and when you pan the camera away, it dissapears? Can you rephrase your issue?

I was a little generic, sorry! I duplicated the Marine unit from the Data tab, but I can’t figure out how to give it any models (as it is missing most of the Marine’s default models). I’m pretty new to creating maps and mods for Starcraft II.

To give it a model (your custom Marine), you go on its unit actor, find the “Model” field, and browse a model from the model data. In the model data, there’s a field called model which opens a preview window of what it is.

  • Yes I know… the word model is confusing, but from the actor it is used to link the data.

When you browse, type “Marine”, should have a lot. That being said, make sure that your mod/map has minimum dependency (In the first top bar options).

Let’s try from there. If you need more, deep help, I can invite you to join the sc2 mapster discord:
