Data\Actor\Unit Actor
Unit actors determine how units look, sound, and animate. Units are linked to actors with the same name, and unit actors are automatically created without needing additional actor events.
Making changes to the Presentation fields of a unit will automatically create a new unit actor of the same name. Editing these fields will update the data of the linked unit actor.

Alternative Resource
MessageType: ActorResource
The alternative asset to use for testing the actor.
Preserve On Unit Remove
