That's why it's not in the original file.
Also with filepath. No path means it will search the file inside the same dir then the blueprint.

Code:
            LODs = {
                {
                    MeshName = '/units/xrl0302/xrl0302_lod0.scm',
                    AlbedoName = '/units/xrl0302/xrl0302_albedo.dds',
                    SpecularName = '/units/xrl0302/xrl0302_specteam.dds',
                    NormalsName = '/units/xrl0302/xrl0302_normalsTS.dds',
                    LODCutoff = 100,
                    ShaderName = 'Insect',
                },
                {
                    MeshName = '/units/xrl0302/xrl0302_lod1.scm',
                    AlbedoName = '/units/xrl0302/xrl0302_lod1_albedo.dds',
                    SpecularName = '/units/xrl0302/xrl0302_lod1_specteam.dds',
                    NormalsName = '/units/xrl0302/xrl0302_lod1_normalsTS.dds',
                    LODCutoff = 215,
                    ShaderName = 'Insect',
                },
            },

I ask cause it is not what the original unit uses. That's your code up there, and this is what the original SUPCOM FA file looks like
Code:
LODs = {
                {
                    LODCutoff = 100,
                    ShaderName = 'Insect',
                },
                {
                    AlbedoName = 'xrl0302_lod1_albedo.dds',
                    LODCutoff = 215,
                    ShaderName = 'Insect',
                    SpecularName = 'xrl0302_lod1_specteam.dds',
                },
            },



Yet they both walk :p Soooo...basically then, as far as animations go, all you did was tell the game like it was a moron to forcefully use another unit's files, whereas in the original unit it goes automatically due to the same name of the files and the unit, is that it?

God it both frustrates me and fascinates me that there are 5 different ways of achieving the same result in this world of .lua
Can you imagine the level of mindfuck that has on someone who learns everything from scratch? ;)

As usual, Uveso, you are my savior.
One day when I'm president of the world you are definitely getting a trip to the Maldives to go SCUBA diving

I repacked the unit, renamed it, added your blueprint, changed LOD settings to use the original files and updated the script file.
(also removed all non script files. They are now loaded from the original unit.)

The unit also detonates on enemy weapon fire. If you don't want this, simply delete the "OnKilled" function from the unitscript.

Ty for a quick reply

It seems that you need to open 3d models in blender and change bones names to match the unit new name then export it in your mod folder.

You need to use the python plugins to export supcom models. The link is somewhere on this forum.

However - it does not walk, it glides (no walk animation). The hooked one does, no problem; it is bigger and splashes on death like it should and walks and overall works like a charm ;). The custom made one, however...does not.

I followed this guide to the letter to test what I was doing wrong, but no help. (chapter 4)

https://rogercpress.wordpress.com/2012/ ... -tutorial/

I tried it with several other units to no avail, walking animation would always lack.
What I do is take the unit folder, copy it in my mod under units, rename the folder and all files inside it accordingly, rename the 2 values in the scrpit.lua and those in the .bp files, YES I know it needs to have the full path to my mod and not just 'units/xyunit/ for all animations (wish it were that simple... ;(

What the hell am I doing wrong??? Why does it not walkkkk? I am clearly missing something.

Much obliged.
