right i have had problems with using models and i finally got it all sorted, on the map editor i could see them but when i come to test the map the unit is invisable, fully i cannot see the mobel, now its nothing to do with triggers or that they have the abilty cos the unit is on my team so i should be able to see it.
I think its something to do with the model not loading but i can still see it on the map editor so whats going on :\

was there a skin that came w/ the model?
if you import a model w/o a skin, it's set to invisible

okay that sounds like whats wrong.

It did come with 2 files one was the model i assume cos once thats loaded i cud see the model.
the other came in a textures file within it so i guess that must be the skin, how do i got about getting this skin on the unit.

just import the model and change its path to "ModelName.mdx"
import the skin and change its path to "SkinName.blp"

create your custom unit and go to "Model Path" >select import>select your model.
Save the map, close WE, open up again

hmm im still confused.

I am trying to import the dark wraith model. On the download page there are many files all with different paths. I have renamed the 2 files that come with the dl . the skin darkwraith.blp and the model as darkwraith.mdl.
Now again the model shows but i cant seem to get the skin working on it??

Am i just being stupid is there something really obviosues that im not doing.
Could you possibly tell me exactly how u wud do it.
