Campaign Editor Unit Help

When i make units in campaign editor, can they not be used in my campaign maps? also all objects don't work. I will place a unit i've made in campaighn editor, or use an imported file, but it won't even show up in- game. (getting discouraged) :(

When altering unit data in the object editor, do it for each map, not using the campaign object editor. If you are using the same data for each map, you can export object data from one and import them into all the rest. Takes only a few minutes to do that.

The import archive, though, is a different story. With campaigns, all imported material has to go into the campaigns import archive, not for each map. Once all your maps are loaded into your campaign, you can then assign new model files to units ans such. They will show up then.

Good luck.

thanks VG, i got it to work eventually. what happened was i was testing each map individually, but in order for the custom data in the campaign editor to show up in-game, you have to play it from the begining or load it in the middle, you can't just start with a map in the middle of the map sequence. Thanks for you help, hopefully i'll get this campaign made and put up :)
