Doodad-Building constantly changing

[Lionhearte]

Hey guys I have quick question about placing doodads that appear as buildings, for example in the orc campaign you have the barracks and town hall as doodads, not accessible. I know how to do such a thing but my question is, for some buildings, that when selected, show different "variations" of the buildings. Such as - the simple watch towers for the human is listed as Arcane/Cannon/Guard/Watch tower under the model > Units, and when placed in the editor appears as one of them at first, then after a set interval, appears as a different one (shows as a watch tower, then after 4 or 5 seconds, shows as a guard tower).

My question is, how can I make it so that it only shows one variation of it? Instead of it showing as a different model once in awhile, as that gets annoying.

Each of the different models have a source code that you'll need to access and refer to under the Model File.
I can't honestly tell you which is which, but I know it's there somewhere!
Hope this helps!

Each tower has different animations in "buildings\human\HumanTower\HumanTower.mdx" and the animations have to be set for the correct tower to show up. The problem is i don't think you can set the animations for doodads, so you might be stuck with use the towers as buildings.

I see, well I'll try messing around with it more and maybe MWS could help me, if I can get it to work I'll post back here to let other people who have the similar problem know how to fix it. Thanks both of you

can't you just place it on the map as a unit but add the ability locust to it. that way it will be "unclickable".

That could work, I'll try it out. First time I've heard of the spell, anyways
