Building Upgrade Graphics

Hi!

I've got a modified Graveyard. It says "Upgrades To Graveyard Level 2"

You can click that button on the menu in-game, and the building does upgrade to a Graveyard Level 2. But the building disappears during the build time.

I've got another building, a modified Sacrificial Pit, and it upgrades to a modified Human Barracks. The graphics for that one work fine.

:(

Is there something obvious I've done wrong?

Anyone? I still haven't figured this out. It used to work, but it just stopped one day.

Well, if I had to guess, I'd say that it's using the birth animation for the upgrade process, since neither the barracks nor the graveyard have an upgrade animation.

Therefore, if it is using the graveyard's birth animation, there isn't anything *there* for a lot of it, except the undead birth special effect (the green portal with skeletal spidey bits). Are you getting that, or nothing at all?

What model are you using for graveyard #2? If it's a doodad, say for instance, the "Crypt" doodad, these models dont have a build animation. Therefor, you'll see nothing.

When the Sacrificial Pit upgrades, it turns into the concrete slab with dust and hammers and saws and stuff. It goes through the whole anim, and the Barracks appears, just as I would expect.

For the Graveyard, it completely disappears, only leaving the hole in the ground that appears beneath Undead buildings. So the birth anim is missing. Not absolutely entirely though. At the end of it, you see the new building glow into place; as usual, but without the "fingers" or green swirling pool beneath it.

I've checked the model for the second graveyard, and it is "Units/Graveyard". I'm assuming it's the "Doodads/Graveyard" one that would be wrong.

You can see what animations it has by selecting it in the main WE window and looking at the preview box on the left. Click the arrows to cycle through the animations it has. What's it got?

Okay, both Graveyard Level 1 and Graveyard Level 2 have the Birth anim, according to the preview box. GL1 is invulnerable... that's not messing it up, is it?

I've posted the map file in another thread. You can take a look here, if you want.

Is there no answer because I'm being stupid, or because noone who's looked at this knows the answer?
