I need some help

When I try to create a unit with a voxel I just drew, and I build the unit in game, the unit is invisible. I am a first timer, and I have no idea what the problem is.

Thanx

Ok, but I need you to answer some questions before we have a solution for it:

1) Which game? TS or RA2?
2) Have you placed the voxel code in art.ini?
3) At rules(md).ini or firestrm.ini, is your unit internal name the same than the art.ini code from your voxel? Or you use Image=ARTCODEFROMYOURVOXEL ?

the voxel is for TS,
I do have it in the art.ini file
and the names are the same,
I think my problem is with the Hva file though
I first tried to use the MCV Hva, then I tried to make my own Hva with DMV's Hva editor but I had no idea what to do to make the Hva
thanx

yeah the HVA is essential... because it is the animator that tells the voxel how to turn and move. using a different units HVA is not a good idea. *Thinks he should write a "how to make HVA tutorial"*

HVA Editing Tutorial, by MadHQ:

Note: The tutorial works with any VXLSE II 2.x or VXLSE III. And also, OS Voxel Viewer didnt existed when the tutorial was created.
