How to change a model (not simple)

[EmGooser]

Ok, this question is not that simple. I am wanting to use the spikes from the orc upgrade as a model on a building.

I have tryed to make a building unit from an orc tower and removing the tower graphic to some random model without an empty standing model, but it didnt work.

I tryed making the building 0.1 scale, the spikes went 0.1 too.

I tryed setting the model to the actual special model of the spikes upgrade. But the model has 3 or 4 settings and the "building" keeps changing models in play and thus the spikes just vanish or change from small spikes to big spikes.

I really dont want to have to rip the model file out of wc3 and cut it into parts. Is there a triger to make it only stand2 or another way that doesnt require me to add a model file?

could you be more specific as to what model you are trying to use? i'm a little confused on that part. i may be able to help you if it is what i am thinking of. i did something similar with some help from Ryoko.

why dont create a building with the "spiked barricades" model file....
