Unit --> Hero, is it possible?

I want to make a hero with the pandaren brewmaster's storm model. The WE does not seem to want me to do this and when the unit is placed a green checkered box comes up where the unit would have been. So I tried to work around it by basing my hero off of the unit itself, editing all of its values to be like a hero. But when I boot up the game no hero attributes or abilities come up. Is there a work-around to fix this problem? Plz help. :////

No, just use a hero and change the model. How did you try to change it? If you just select the model titled "storm, storm" then it will work.

I changed the model path from whatever the lich model is, because thats what I based it on, to the pandaren brewmaster - storm model (Units\Creeps\StormPandarenBrewmaster\StormPandarenBrewmaster) and as I said it showed up in the WE when placed as a green checkered box.

Add '.mdl' to the end of that and it should work.

Sometimes you have to Save and reopen the map when using Unconvetional models for units. (when I say unconvetional, I mean any model that is either custom {imported} or a model that is not NORMALLY used as a unit.) Just an idea.

alright just to prove that I'm not crazy I added this screenshot. you arent meant to add the .mdl, it adds it for you. It also adds some other thing "_V1" which wasnt in the path and prob wuts screwing it up.

Below the model path it says model version or something- uncheck Frozen Throne.

I dont see where you mean. The "Could Not Load File ....."?

Also AllPainful I tried your idea and it just says the same error when I reopen the map.

Okay, here's a picture. THe highlighted thing is what I'm talking about. Change it so it isn't checking anything.

I finally got thru to the bastard WE by editing the Pandaren Brewmaster's model to be the storm model and editing his values to match my previous hero. what a pain. thx to all who helped and good night.
