Giving a stalker the 'zealot_death' actor (or model?)

[MissKerrigan]

Hi,

I want to give a stalker the 'zealot_death' video
Do I have to duplicate the whole unit now? or can I just set some simple things somewhere?

Same for a couple of zerg units I want to give the 'baneling_death' explosion

Do you mean that you want to change those units death animation to the one the Zealot uses?

FYI, the Zealot_Death actor is actually a sound actor and has nothing to do with models (it plays the Zealots death sound).

Changing the death animation for a unit is rather simple. Just go to Stalkers actor, find and open the Combat: Death Effects + property. Select the first index which should be called Normal and change the Model property to Zealot Death and the Sound property to Zealot_Death (you only need to change the sound if you want to).

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough
I want to play the animation of the zealot when it dies, like you thought so
About the sound I want to keep the stalker_death sound
So it's in the actor-event? hmm it's not my best part in the editor but I'll try

You don't need to touch the actor events. This is in a different property called Combat: Death Effects +. See the last paragraph of my previous post and ignore changing the Sound property if you're not changing the sound.
