Unit With Destructible Model Appears White

[Griffen25]

Hello, I'm trying to create a sort of 'hidden' unit that appears to be a tree (it cannot move or attack, but cast one spell). So I quickly found out that destructibles cannot have abilities, so then I created a unit, based from a footman and changed the art file to a tree and it appears white and texture-less in the game (see attachment). :banghead:

Is it possible to change a units art model to that of a destructible (ie. tree)


Thanks

You need to use another variation.

I'm not very experienced with models at all.
could you please explain it a bit simpler please?
or link the model file?

thanks alot for replying though!

You need to import the tree model but with the desired texture specified within the model itself. How this is done, I have no idea.

Neither Do I, does anyone else out there?
I've kind of hit a brick wall atm.

I found an evergreen variation, now I just need to learn how to import a custom model. I think I'll look for a tutorial

its because destructables use a replaceable texture, because a unit dosent assign replaceable textures for the doodad, the doodad is left unskinned.

what you can do is turn your unit into a unit that has no model and plant a destructable ontop of that unit

I was thinking of doing that as a last resort. because I still need players to be able to target it.
