Banners and Circles of Powers

Just a quick question about how to achieve the same effect that Blizzard has in the first tutorial mission.

They have a Orc Banner standing in the middle of a circle of power. I have tried placing an Orc Banner (Doodad) on a circle of power (Unit) but they refuse to comply... :)

Is there something simple here I am missing?

How more specific can he get? He's asking how he can get a doodad to be placed(an orc banner in specifics) to be placeable on a circle of power. I can't figure it out either(and i use the WE)...any of you w3 in and outies have a clue? Maybe in an upcoming map editor or somethin'...

OH I see. Just placed TUTORIAL ORC BANNER INSTEAD OF Orc Banner will do.

Use Enhanced World Editor, you can find it at Downloads section,
Here's what you do:

Make a custom unit of any kind, that you wanted to be a banner, for example you wanted a peon based custom unit to look like a banner See below:

Change

Model used: units/orc/peon/peon

To

Model used:
doodads/lordaeonsummer/props/bannerorc/bannerorc0

then set the collision of the custom unit to 0
and also, set the collision of "Circle of power" to 0

So what you have now is, two units that has a collision of 0
You can stick em up together

just put an orc banner (item) in it, it will show a banner not a treasure chest

Using the item or the tutorial doodad will work. However, although I haven't tested it, I don't think 3DGuys' will. Doodads use .obj format, so unless you convert .obj to .mdx at some point, I don't think that'll work.
