alright, so I am doing a little project which will probably never finish, but I need to grab a few units from here and there, but they belong to huge projects.

for example, i want an elven archeress from tsg, fenris from chimera, etc.

is there a way to just snag these guys out and not all the other stuff? if so, what is all the things i would need, or should i make a unit tagset and then tag extract my own stuff will i have everything i want

and if i were to do that... how?

use the tag extractor plug and extract only the tags of the units you want to use, such as the elven guard, could be tedious but you'll figure it out just be sure to give all the original makers of all these units their credit for creating them if you ever finish the plug

Lol Tarz... you hax0r. Floyd.. here's the specific tags you need for any unit you ever want to extract:

Collection reference, Collection, monsters, objets, projetile groups, projectiles, string lists, units. Then if unit uses a lightning attack (like the archer hero from Chimera) you need the lightning tag. Keep in mind for projectiles and projectile groups you need all the ones regarded the death sequences AND the attacks. Good luck.
