How did the creators of the Undead campaign map 1 create the attacking villagers? I extracted the map from the MPQ but i couldn't see anything different, only that i couldn't find them in the unit palette and that when i clicked them they had a harvest and attack anim too. Anyone know how to recreate this?

/EDIT: DAMN I'M DUMB. Sorry, figured it out already :rolleyes:

This is how I did it:

Go into unit editor and make a custom unit.

Select a unit that can attack, a footman for example, and use that as the base for the custom unit. Then switch the model to a villager, and edit whatever else you want from there. The villager will now attack.

easier way: use the 'animation - add attack animation tag to unit' action. Useful if you don't want them to do damage (like footmen training in a boot camp)
