Two Questions:
- I gave the reaver an actual ground attack, but it still needs scarabs to attack. How can I get rid of the scarabs and have it attack with the weapon that I gave it?
- How do I replace the reaver's graphics/wireframe with another unit's? I did this once, but I completely forget how to do it now.

Two Questions:
1) I gave the reaver an actual ground attack, but it still needs scarabs to attack. How can I get rid of the scarabs and have it attack with the weapon that I gave it?
2) How do I replace the reaver's graphics/wireframe with another unit's? I did this once, but I completely forget how to do it now.
1) Hardcoded. Don't bother.
2) I think there's a file containing the wireframes for all of the units, but I don't know what it's called, since I rarely mod them. As for replacing the Reaver's in-game graphics, that is done relatively easily by putting a GRP file in the correct path with the same name as the standard Reaver's GRP. You can find these things out in the Images.DAT portion of your DAT editor. I think the GRP path for reaver is YourMod/unit/protoss/trilobyte.grp . I'm not sure about the spelling of "trilobyte" though.
Also, naming your thread appropriately instead of using a generic, info-less phrase is bad procedure. I recommend using the sticky info from the mapmaking forums, i.e. name your topics accordingly, since you're less likely to have people think "FUCK YOU" the moment they see a thread named like how you have.
Alright then. I'll just place the scout with an immortal. Doesn't make much sense, but whatever.

Sand Wraith
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
